Brand new plane but apparently with technical problems. Authorities are not expecting to find any survivors.

Ah. Sad news.

The same jet had experienced technical problems during a flight from Bali to Jakarta the night before the fatal crash. Lion Air will need to explain why it was not grounded.
Australia's DFAT warns government staff not to fly on Lion Air or its subsidiaries until further notice.
Analysis: Nothing will change despite the latest Indonesian air tragedy

Seems a major error by Lion Air to not ground the plane. It reads as though they are responsible for their own maintenance, rather than another company to put blame onto.Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade issued a warning to its staff.
Australian Government officials and contractors were ordered not to fly on Lion Air or their subsidiary airlines.
...
Lion Air Group is made up of Lion Air and its subsidiaries Batik Air and Wings Air.
Batik Air has operated two flights a day between Perth and Denpasar in Bali since opening the route in June 2017.
The Australian public has not been given a similar warning by DFAT and may not be aware that Batik Air is a subsidiary of Lion Air.
Batik Air planes are serviced at the same Lion Air facility on Batam Island and flown by pilots employed by the Lion Air Group — Batik Air is Lion Air, just with different branding
