In South Korea, the black box from the Jeju Air plane that crashed a week ago has been successfully decoded.

South Korea has completed the transcription of the two-hour audio from the cockpit of the Jeju Air plane that was involved in a fatal crash a week ago. The flight data recorder will be handed over to the National Transportation Safety Board of the United States for analysis next week.

According to Yonhap, the publication reports that, citing the Ministry of Transport, the two engines of the jet have been moved to a hangar for a comprehensive investigation.

Next week, South Korea will also conduct a special investigation concerning the 101 B737-800 aircraft, which is the same model as the one that crashed. Currently, six South Korean carriers operate these planes.

The day before, Yonhap reported the completion of search operations at the crash site. The bodies of all 179 victims have been found, and the remains of 151 victims have been returned to their families. The remaining 25 bodies, except for one family of three, will be handed over to relatives on January 5.
