Jakarta, Jan 7 (IBNS): In a significant development, Chief of Indonesias Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas) F.H. Bambang Soelistyo has said rescuers have found part of the tail of crashed AirAsia flight QZ8501 in the Javas sea.

"This discovery has been confirmed," F.H. Bambang Soelistyo was quoted as saying by Antara News.

On Dec 28, the flight had crashed  into the sea with 162 passengers aboard.

A massive search mission was launched since the day of the crash.

AirAsia group chief executive Tony Fernandes tweeted: "I am led to believe the tail section has been found. If right part of tail section then the black box should be there."

"We need to find all parts soon so we can find all out guests to ease the pain of our families. That still is our priority," he said.
