The flight data and cockpit voice recorders on the Jeju Air jet that crashed on Dec 29, 2024, stopped recording about four minutes before the airliner hit a concrete structure at South Korea's Muan airport, said the Transport Ministry on Jan 11.

Jeju Air jet's black boxes ceased recording four minutes before crash, says S. Korea

The authorities investigating the disaster that killed 179 people - the worst aviation accident on South Korean soil - plan to analyse what caused the "black boxes" to stop recording, the ministry said in a statement.

The voice recorder was initially analysed in South Korea, and when data was found to be missing, it was sent to a US National Transportation Safety Board laboratory, the ministry added.

The damaged flight data recorder was taken to the US for analysis in cooperation with the US safety regulator, the ministry had said.
