It has been a terrible year for airlines from that part of the world.

The missing plane has been found in the Java sea off Borneo.

The pilot of AirAsia Flight 8501 may have landed the plane on the ocean surface, only to have it sink in high seas, according to aviation experts. Although a fair amount of debris has been recovered the black boxes have not been located yet, so for now the theory can't be verified.

Bad weather which caused icing of the engines is the explanation being given for the loss of this plane.

Now that the black boxes have been recovered, the investigators preliminary report on the cause of the crash will be released on 28 January.
