Earlier on Friday, Indonesian authorities also successfully lifted the largest pieces of the plane from the water. “Last Friday, we found and brought the largest part of the fuselage with one wing still intact to the shore,” an employee said.

Up to this point, a total of 103 bodies of passengers on the flight have been found. It is known that on December 28, the Airbus A320 with the number QZ8501 of Air Asia disappeared from the radar screen carrying 162 passengers after an hour of taking off from the airport in Surabaya, the second largest city in Indonesia, to Singapore.

Based on the evidence gathered, investigators said the cause of the accident was that the plane suddenly increased its altitude before landing and crashed into the Java Sea.

And based on the data extracted from the black box of flight QZ8501, at the end of January 2015, investigators also sent a preliminary report to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
