The Indonesian search team has reportedly found the last major part of the fuselage of the AirAsia plane that crashed into the Java Sea in December, killing all 162 people on board.

National search and rescue chief Bambang Soelistyo said that the plane's fuselage was lifted from the sea bed and loaded onto a ship on Friday, reported News.com.au.

He added that one of the wings was still intact.

No bodies were found during the operation, the report said.

Soelistyo said that a final date for the rescue and search operation will be decided later on after a meeting with the victims' families, scheduled for next week.

 

Nearly 103 bodies have been retrieved so far.

The plane went down into the Java Sea while flying from the Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore.
