Two of the Korean investigators on Monday are set to leave for the United States with flight data recorders for analysis with the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2024\/12\/iata-calls-for-impartial-and-transparent-investigation-into-azerbaijan-airlines-crash.html\">IATA calls for impartial and transparent investigation into Azerbaijan Airlines crash<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The flight data recorders, along with cockpit voice recorders, are the two black boxes that contain key information about the crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investigators on Saturday compiled the complete transcript from the cockpit voice recorder recovered from the wreckage of the Jeju Air Boeing 737-800. It is not clear whether they will disclose the transcript.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investigators retrieved two of the plane&#8217;s engines over the weekend, as a representative from engine maker GE joined the probe. The transport ministry extended to Jan. 10 its inspections of all the Boeing 737-800 planes operated by Jeju Air and five other airlines in the country, including their maintenance records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With information from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/asia-pacific\/south-korea-extends-shutdown-muan-international-airport-jan-14-yonhap-says-2025-01-06\/\"
