Searchers have located the tail section of the AirAsia jet which was lost in the Java Sea.

The discovery is seen as a major breakthrough, as the tail section of the plane is where the so-called black boxes are located.

Indonesia's search and rescue chief, Bambang Soelistyo has confirmed the find.

"I confirmed that this is part of the tail (QZ8501) with evidence of the images we see on the screen. There is clearly visible a tail section with the words of Papa Kilo Alpha X-ray (PKAX) written on it."

The black boxes of an airplane are the flight data and voice recorders.
Information contained on those devices will be crucial in helping identify what caused the jetliner to go down two-Sundays ago.

The AirAsia Airbus A320 went down on December 28th while enroute from the Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore with 162 people on board.

So far, 40 bodies have been recovered.

Five large sections of the plane have been detected on the sea floor.

Initial indications are the plane came down in bad weather, as the pilot had requested a change in altitude to avoid a weather system shortly before the flight disappeared from radar screens.
