Ethiopian authorities have requested France assistance for the analysis of the Flight Data Recorder (FDR) and Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR).

In the coming days the black box will be sent for the analysis to Paris Le Bourget Airport in France.

A spokesman for Germany’s Federal Bureau of Aircraft Accident Investigation (BFU) earlier said that the agency was asked by Ethiopian authorities to analyze the black box from Sunday’s crash, but declined because it lacked the necessary software.
