Iranpress/Asia : Search and rescue teams have been deployed but it will take them up to three hours to reach the suspected crash site by foot, officials added.
The plane was carrying seven passengers, including a child, and two crew.
It belonged to Dimonim Air, a private company operating charter flights in and around Papua.
Indonesia relies heavily on air transport to connect its thousands of islands but has a poor aviation safety record and has suffered several fatal crashes in recent years.
In August 2015, a commercial passenger aircraft operated by Indonesian carrier Trigana crashed in Papua due to bad weather, killing all 54 people on board.
