Paris: The French air accident investigation authority, known by its French acronym BEA, said it will handle the analysis of the black boxes retrieved from the crash site of the Ethiopian Airlines jet that left 157 people dead.
A BEA official said that the black boxes have already arrived in France but gave no time frame on how long the analysis could take.
Ethiopian Airlines said an Ethiopian delegation led by its accident investigation bureau had flown the flight data and cockpit voice recorders to Paris.
