Indonesia's military on Tuesday withdrew from search and recovery efforts a month after an AirAsia passenger jet crashed, navy officials said.
The Airbus A320 vanished from radar screens during bad weather on Dec. 28, less than half way into a two-hour flight from Surabaya, Indonesia's second-biggest city, to Singapore. All 162 people on board were killed.
A multinational search and recovery operation has found 70 bodies in the Java Sea and had hoped to find more after locating the fuselage of the plane. But days of rough weather and poor underwater visibility hampered navy divers' efforts.
