49 people were killed and 44 others injured after a passenger plane was burned when landing in Indonesia's Yogyaklarta province, provincial government said on Wednesday.

"The latest data of the death is 49 people, some of them Australian and Japanese," the government spokesman named only Robiyanto told Xinhua by phone from the province.

Provincial police spokesman Budi Santoso said that six of the passengers were foreign citizens, but he did not give further detail.

He said that the plane landed too far from it supposed to be and skid off the runway.

"Twice explosions were heard immediately after the plane landed and the axis of the tyre was broken," he told Xinhua.

He confirmed that the total victims were 93, including the fatalities. All of those injured were admitted to hospitals in the cities of Yogyakarta, he added.

The plane was on route from Jakarta to Yogyakarta city, he said.

Indonesian Chairman of the second biggest Muslim organization Din Syamsuddin was among the survivors, said Santoso.

The spokesman predicted that one of the possible causes of the accident was the higher pressure of air from above of the plane while it was landing.

The Boeing 737-400 belonging to flag carrier Garuda Indonesia carried 133 passengers and 7 cabin crews when the accident occurred at the Adi Sucipto Airport, said Santoso.

Indonesia has been frequently experienced airline accidents. Recently a budget airliner Adam Air with more than 100 people on board lost in the eastern waters of the country.

Indonesian has declared to evaluate its aviation system to prevent further possibility of accident.
