Sunday, 12 Jan, 2015 0

The flight data recorder from the AirAsia Flight which disappeared in bad weather has been found by divers, say officials.

But the head of Indonesia’s search and rescue agency, Bambang Soelistyo, said teams were still looking for its cockpit voice recorder, reports the BBC.

The plane, which was flying from Indonesia to Singapore, went missing with 162 people on board on December 28.

Investigators hope the flight data recorder will help piece together the events on the flight.

Speaking in Jakarta, Bambang Soelistyo told reporters: "I received information from the National Transport Safety Committee chief that at 07:11 (00:11 GMT), we succeeded in bringing up part of the black box that we call the flight data recorder."

It was found under the wreckage of a wing.

He added: "What we are still trying to find is the cockpit voice recorder."

The flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder are collectively known as the ‘Black Box’.
