		</div><p>The cockpit voice recorder of the Lion Air jet that crashed into the Java Sea in October has been found, an Indonesia official said.</p>
<p>Ridwan Djamaluddin, a deputy maritime minister, told reporters that the National Transportation Safety Committee had informed the ministry about the discovery.</p>
<p>He said human remains were also discovered at the seabed location.</p>
<p>The two-month-old Boeing 737 MAX 8 jet plunged into the Java Sea just minutes after taking off from Jakarta on October 29, killing all 189 people on board.</p>

<p>A spokesman for the Indonesian navy’s western fleet, Lt Col Agung Nugroho, said divers using high-tech “ping locator” equipment had started a new search effort on Friday and found the voice recorder beneath 26ft of seabed mud. The plane crashed in waters 100ft deep.</p>
<p>The device is being transported to a navy port in Jakarta, Lt Col Nugroho said, and will be handed over to the transportation safety committee, which is overseeing the accident investigation.</p>
<p>“This is good news, especially for us who lost our loved ones,” said Irianto, the father of Rio Nanda Pratama, a doctor who died in the crash.</p>
<p>“Even though we don’t yet know the contents of the CVR, this is some relief from our despair.”</p>
<p>The plane’s cockpit data recorder was recovered within days of the crash and showed that the jet’s airspeed indicator had malfunctioned on its last four flights.</p>
<p>If the voice recorder is undamaged, it could provide valuable additional information to investigators.</p>
<p>The Lion Air crash was the worst airline disaster in Indonesia since 1997, when 234 people died on a Garuda flight near Medan. In December 2014, an AirAsia flight from Surabaya to Singapore plunged into the sea, killing all 162 people on board.</p>
<p>Lion Air is one of Indonesia’s youngest airlines but has grown rapidly, flying to dozens of domestic and international destinations.</p>
<p>It has been expanding aggressively in south-east Asia, a fast-growing region of more than 600 million people.</p>
