Investigation agency Bureau d’Enquetes et d’Analyses (BEA) has handed the results of its work to the Venezuelan and French judicial authorities.

BEA has not disclosed any information from the CVR and FDR recordings but the agency says technical investigators are to begin putting the recorded data in context with the rest of the probe.

Flight WCW708 came down while en route from Panama to Martinique on 16 August with the loss of all 160 passengers and crew.
