The Indonesian search team may have located the main fuselage of the missing AirAsia flight QZ8501, a report said.

According to an official, an object measuring 10m by 4m by 2.5m, which resembled the plane's body, was located on the sea floor in a sonar scan of the search area in the Java Sea, said, reported the BBC.

Officials hoped that the "black box" flight recorders will be near the object, close to the area where the tail was found.

The flight, along with 162 people on board, went missing on December 28 while flying from Surabaya in Indonesia to Singapore.
