Officials leading the search for the black box of AirAsia flight QZ8501 say they have detected ‘pings’ in the Java Sea.
According to the BBC, divers have been sent to investigate the pings, which were heard near where search teams found the plane’s tail.
It is believed the black box could have been separated from the rear of the plane.
The Airbus A320-200 aircraft, flying from Surabaya in Indonesia to Singapore, went missing on 28 December with 162 people on board.
More bodies have been found as part of the search operation, bringing the total to 47.
AirAsia has confirmed that it will pay 1.25 billon rupiah (£65,300) in compensation for each victim lost, the statutory amount required under Indonesian law.
