At least 98 people were killed including five on the ground, media reports said.
"The plane hit some houses, bounced, hit the ground and then caught fire," one witness told Metro TV.
East Java military chief Suwarno told the state-run Antara news agency that the aircraft was carrying 98 passengers and 14 crew.
