Flight recorders from the passenger "Jeju Air" plane that crashed on December 29 last year stopped recording approximately four minutes before the aircraft hit concrete structure at South Korea's Muan Airport.

Axar.az reports that this information was shared by South Korea's Ministry of Transport.

The South Korean authorities had planned to analyze the recordings from the black boxes to understand the cause of the crash, which was the country's deadliest aviation disaster in almost three decades, claiming the lives of 179 people.

In a statement, the ministry said it was unclear why the devices stopped recording.

The flight data recorder, which was damaged and missing a connector, was sent to the National Transportation Safety Board in the US last week for analysis, after South Korean authorities concluded they could not extract data from the device, due to the damage.

The crash was the country’s deadliest since 1997, when a Korean Air Lines Boeing 747 crashed in the Guam jungle, with the loss of 228 lives.
