AirAsia flight QZ8501: Black box must be read in Indonesia, says minister-Published on Jan 7, 2015 7:23 PM-THE STRAITS TIMES

JAKARTA (REUTERS) - The black box flight recorders of an AirAsia jet that crashed last month must be analysed in Indonesia, Minister for Maritime Affairs Indroyono Soesilo said on Wednesday, as Jakarta dispatched an unmanned underwater vehicle to recover the tail of the plane."The tail is the location of the black box. Hopefully not very long before the black box can be discovered," Mr Soesilo said in a media briefing after his arrival in Pangkalan Bun, a town on the island of Borneo with the airstrip closest to the crash site."Black box must be read in Indonesia," he said. "Six vessels are at the spot where we found the plane's tail, operating within a radius of 2 nautical miles to do further searches."His comments came after the tail of flight QZ8501 has been found upturned on the sea bed about 30km from the plane's last known location.

AirAsia flight QZ8501: Airline 'to offer $133k payout' for each victim-Published on Jan 7, 2015 8:10 PM-THE STRAUTS TIMES

SURABAYA - AirAsia will offer compensation of about US$100,000 (S$133,000) for each passenger of the ill-fated Flight QZ8501, in addition to the initial payment of US$24,000 that was offered earlier to family members, CNN has reported.Earlier, The Wall Street Journal reported that the airline was conferring with families individually on the initial compensation, meant to help them with their immediate financial hardship.The Indonesia AirAsia flight went down in bad weather in the Java Sea with 162 people on board, including 155 passengers. No survivors have been found so far.Some families had declined the initial offer without further information about compensation, citing confusion over the wording of the letter and reservations about the airline's practice of approaching families individually, the Wall Street Journal report said.On Tuesday, Captain Raden Achmad Sadikin, Indonesia AirAsia's director of safety and security, said the company is conferring with families separately because "we respect that (some) families are still hoping to see that their relatives survived, so we offered (compensation first) to those whose family members have been identified".He said the company is preparing a total payout based on Indonesian regulations.The Indonesian agency that regulates the country's financial sector said on Tuesday that airline insurers were liable for a compensation amount of 1.25 billion rupiah (S$138,000) for each of the 155 passengers, and an additional 315 million rupiah to 750 million rupiah for 25 passengers who had purchased flight insurance.It put to rest speculation that insurers may not have to make payouts after it was revealed AirAsia did not have a permit to fly the Surabaya-Singapore route on the day of the crash. It did not play a role in the crash, said the agency.

QZ8501: Media barred from covering handover of bodies at Surabaya-Haider Yutim, Astro Awani | Updated: January 03, 2015-(First published on: January 03, 2015 18:55 MYT)

KUALA LUMPUR: Journalists are prohibited from covering the handing-over process of bodies from AirAsia Indonesia Flight QZ8501 at the East Java Police's Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) command centre in Surabaya.Kompas.com reported that the police had received protests from the victims' bereaved families, and had therefore barred journalists who are standing by at the post from covering the process.East Java Police chief spokesman Sr. Commissioner Awi Setiyono said he was told by family members yesterday that they objected the handing-over being covered by the Press."Therefore, starting today, we are no longer allowing journalists to cover the process," he said, hoping that all parties understand the situation and respect the families' decision.The handing-over process had previously been open to the media where the transferrals were conducted after the DVI team reveal the identities of the bodies that had already been identified.As of today, of the 18 bodies which had arrived at the DVI command post at the Bhayangkara Police Hospital, only four had been identified.They are Hayati Lutfiah Hamid, Grayson Herbert Linaksita, Kevin Alexander Soetjipto and AirAsia Indonesia stewardess Khairunnisa Haidar Fauzi.Khairunnisa's body was flown back to her hometown in Palembang yesterday, where it was accompanied by AirAsia chief Tan Sri Tony Fernandes.She was among the 10 bodies found in the Java Sea and among the 162 passengers and crew members who were onboard of the ill-fated QZ8501 which crashed in the Java Sea last Sunday.Flight QZ8501 had departed the Juanda Airport in Surabaya at 5.25am on Sunday and was scheduled to land at the Changi Airport in Singapore at 8.30am (Malaysian time) on the same day.The last contact between the plane and the Jakarta air traffic control was at 7.12am Malaysian time.Passengers on the flight comprised 149 Indonesians, three South Koreans, a Singaporean, a Malaysian and a Briton. The crew comprised six Indonesians and a Frenchman.

QZ8501: Eight more bodies identified - Police Commissioner Budiyono-Harits Asyraf Hasnan, Astro Awani | Updated: January 07, 2015-(First published on: January 07, 2015 20:18 MYT)

SURABAYA: Eight more bodies have been identified by the Disaster Victims Identification (DVI) team today, bringing the total number of identified victims from the ill-fated AirAsia flight QZ8501 to 24 people.DVI Head of Police East Java, General Commissioner Budiyono confirmed that the 24 bodies have been identified and brought to Bhayangkara Hospital, here today.

The victims are:
1. Indahju Liangsih (Female, age: 17)

AirAsia jet tail found underwater, black box may be close-Reuters-By Gayatri Suroyo and Kanupriya Kapoor-JAN 07,2105-YAHOONEWS.

JAKARTA/PANGKALAN BUN, Indonesia (Reuters) - The tail of a crashed AirAsia jet has been found on the sea bed about 30 km (20 miles) from the plane's last known location, Indonesia's search and rescue agency said on Wednesday, a breakthrough that investigators hope will lead to the crucial black box recorders.Flight QZ8501 vanished from radar screens over the northern Java Sea on Dec. 28, less than half-way into a two-hour flight from Indonesia's second-biggest city of Surabaya to Singapore. There were no survivors among the 162 people on board."We've found the tail that has been our main target," Fransiskus Bambang Soelistyo, head of the search and rescue agency, told a news conference in Jakarta.The tail was identified by divers after it was spotted by an underwater machine using a sonar scan, Soelistyo said. He displayed underwater photographs showing partial lettering on the sunken object compared with a picture of an intact Airbus A320-200 in AirAsia livery."I can confirm that what we found was the tail part from the pictures," he said, adding that the team "now is still desperately trying to locate the black box".Forty bodies and debris from the plane have been plucked from the surface of the waters off Borneo, but strong winds and high waves have been hampering divers' efforts to reach larger pieces of suspected wreckage detected by sonar on the sea floor.Locating the tail has been a priority because the cockpit voice and flight data recorders that can provide vital clues on why the plane crashed are located in the rear section of the Airbus."I am led to believe the tail section has been found," AirAsia boss Tony Fernandes tweeted minutes after the announcement."If (it is the) right part of tail section, then the black box should be there ... We need to find all parts soon so we can find all our guests to ease the pain of our families. That still is our priority."

"PINGER LOCATORS"

In Pangkalan Bun, the southern Borneo port closest to the crash site, search and rescue agency coordinator Supriyadi told reporters the bad weather that has dogged the operation for 10 days had abated and divers were in the water.But, as ships with acoustic "pinger locators" designed to pick up signals from the black box converged on the scene of the find, he cautioned the tail section of the aircraft might not be fully intact."The location of the tail is relatively far from the point of last contact, about 30 km (20 miles)," he said."The black box is located behind the door, to the right of the tail. There is a possibility that the tail and the back of the plane are broken up."Soelistyo said a total of 12 objects had now been found, but he did not confirm whether all were parts of the aircraft. The wreckage is thought to also include parts of the fuselage, where many of the bodies of victims may still be trapped.Until investigators can examine the black box recorders the cause of the crash remains a mystery, but the area where the plane was lost is known for intense seasonal storms. BMKG, Indonesia's meteorological agency, has said bad weather may have caused ice to form on the aircraft's engines.Indonesia AirAsia, 49 percent owned by Fernandes's Malaysia-based AirAsia budget group, has come under pressure from the authorities in Jakarta since the crash.The transport ministry has suspended the carrier's Surabaya-Singapore license, saying it only had permission to fly the route on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Flight QZ8501 took off on a Sunday, though the ministry said this had no bearing on the accident.AirAsia has said it is cooperating fully with the ministry's investigations. That investigation would be completed by Friday evening, the transport ministry said on Wednesday.Indonesia has also reassigned some airport and air traffic control officials who allowed the flight to take off and tightened rules on pre-flight briefing procedures.Indonesia is one of the world's fastest growing aviation markets and its carriers, such as Lion Air and Garuda Indonesia, are among the top customers for plane makers Airbus and Boeing.But its safety record is patchy. The European Commission banned all Indonesia-based airlines from flying to the European Union in 2007 following a series of accidents. Exemptions to that ban have since been granted to some carriers, including Garuda and AirAsia.(Additional reporting by Kanupriya Kapoor and Fergus Jensen in Pangkalan Bun, Nicholas Owen, Wilda Asmarini, Eveline Danubrata, Nilufar Rizki, Charlotte Greenfield, and Michael Taylor in Jakarta and Fransiska Nangoy in Surabaya; Writing by Alex Richardson; Editing by Nick Macfie and Raju Gopalakrishnan) 

Our heartfelt condolences to loved ones of those onboard ‪‎QZ8501‬

Malaysia Airlines extends its heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies to the families and friends of all passengers on flight QZ8501.As an airline that has recently experienced such great sadness, we stand in solidarity to offer our thoughts and prayers to everyone affected by this tragedy and with the team at AirAsia.This is indeed a sad time for everyone working in aviation and for all guests who fly.We urge everyone to stay strong during this extremely trying time and to always respect the grieving families.

More objects found in AirAsia wreck hunt, but no sign of black box-Reuters-By Wilda Asmarini and Eveline Danubrata-jan 6,15-yahoonews

JAKARTA, Indonesia (Reuters) - Search teams scouring the ocean for the wreckage of an AirAsia jet found two new metal objects on Tuesday, but nine days after the plane crashed officials say there is still no sign of the crucial black box flight recorders.Bad weather continued to hamper the search, and while conditions eased slightly on Tuesday, high waves and strong currents prevented divers from going deep into the waters to look for the plane's wreckage on the bottom of the Java Sea.Indonesian officials believe they may have located the tail and parts of the fuselage of the Airbus A320-200 30 meters below the surface, but have been unable to properly investigate the debris so far.Flight QZ8501 plunged into the water off Borneo island on Dec. 28, about 40 minutes into a two-hour flight from Indonesia's second-biggest city of Surabaya to Singapore. There were no survivors among the 162 people on board.Jakarta has launched a crackdown on its fast-growing aviation sector since the crash, reassigning some officials and tightening rules on pre-flight procedures in a country with a patchy reputation for air safety."Divers were ready on the ship but the challenges were currents and waves," the head of Indonesia's search and rescue agency, Fransiskus Bambang Soelistyo, told a news conference in Jakarta on Tuesday evening.He said a U.S. navy ship located two more metal objects using sonar signals, though it is not known yet if they are part of the missing plane. Those would add to the five large objects, believed to have been part of the plane, detected so far.Two more bodies were also recovered from the sea, bringing the total found so far to 39.Search and rescue agency official Supriyadi, who is coordinating the operation from the southern Borneo town of Pangkalan Bun, said there had been no "pings" detected from the black box's emergency locator beacon, possibly because it was buried in the seabed or the muddy water was impeding its signal."They haven't found anything, maybe because the water is turbid and there is zero visibility," he said. "There's a possibility it is buried in mud."The captain of an Indonesian navy patrol vessel said on Monday his ship had found what was believed to be the tail, a key find since that section of the aircraft houses the cockpit voice and flight data recorders. But Soelistyo said that could not yet be confirmed.Less than a third of the bodies of the mostly Indonesian passengers and crew have been recovered so far. Many more could still be trapped in the fuselage of the aircraft.

AVIATION CRACKDOWN

The crash was the first fatal accident suffered by the AirAsia budget group, whose Indonesian affiliate has come under criticism from the authorities in Jakarta since the disaster.The transport ministry has suspended Indonesia AirAsia's Surabaya-Singapore license, saying the carrier only had permission to fly the route on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Flight QZ8501 took off on a Sunday, though the ministry said this had no bearing on the accident."Flying without license was not the cause of the accident," transport minister Ignasius Jonan told reporters.Indonesia AirAsia, 49 percent owned by Malaysia-based AirAsia, has made little comment, but said it would fully cooperate with investigations.Indonesia's financial regulator said it did not believe the issue of whether the airline had the correct flight permits would affect insurers paying out on claims.While the cause of the crash is not known, the national weather bureau has said the seasonal tropical storms common in the area were likely to be a factor. Last week, the authorities questioned whether the pilot had followed proper weather procedures.On Monday, the transport ministry said officials at the airport operator in Surabaya and air traffic control agency who had allowed the flight to take off had been moved to other duties while the accident investigation is completed.It also said it had issued a directive making it mandatory for pilots to be briefed face-to-face by an airline flight operations officer on weather conditions and other operational issues before every flight.Indonesia is one of the world's fastest growing aviation markets and its carriers, such as Lion Air and Garuda Indonesia, are among the top customers for plane makers Airbus and Boeing.But its safety record is chequered. The European Commission banned all Indonesia-based airlines from flying to the European Union in 2007 following a series of accidents. Exemptions to that ban have since been granted to some carriers, including Garuda and AirAsia.(Additional reporting by Cindy Silviana, Adriana Nina Kusuma, Michael Taylor, Nilufar Rizki, Charlotte Greenfield and Fransiska Nangoy in Jakarta/Surabaya and Fergus Jensen in Pangkalan Bun; Writing by Alex Richardson and Rachel Armstrong; Editing by Nick Macfie and Robert Birsel)
