The investigators added in a statement that the doomed plane’s cockpit voice recorder would begin to be worked on “within hours” also.
The recorders arrived in Paris from Cairo on Monday to remove salt deposits. They will be sent back to a laboratory in Cairo to analyze the data once the repairs are completed, the statement added.
