SOCHI, May 10 (RIA Novosti) - Recovery teams are expected Thursday to focus on the search for the flight data recorders of an Armenian airliner that crashed off Russia's Black Sea coast last week, emergency services said Wednesday.
The search effort will be restarted when the hydroacoustic equipment brought by French Airbus experts have been prepared, said Vladimir Yerygin, who oversees technological support for the operation to recover the black boxes. They are seen as the key to explaining why the Airbus crashed killing all 113 people on board.
"The French experts brought the equipment yesterday, which will help locate the A-320 flight recorders," Yerygin said, adding that the four beacons were at the Sochi seaport at the moment and it might take six hours to deliver them onto boats and tune them.
In all, 51 bodies have been recovered so far.
