Search crews work on NZ jet wreckage off France
.Search and rescue divers are still at the scene of Friday’s Air New Zealand plane crash off the south-east coast of France. .
Four of the men who died were Air New Zealand staff.
“The aircraft wreckage is in about 40 metres of water and the sea bed is about 30 centimetres of mud so it’s quite difficult to work in,” he said.
The airline’s chief executive Rob Fyfe says investigators are working in difficult conditions.
He says this sort of speculation is harmful to the investigation.
Mr Fyfe has dismissed a report by an eyewitness that the pilots steered the plane into the sea to avoid a French village.
The plane’s cockpit voice recorder is being analysed in Paris.
