Kazakhstan will send the black boxes from the crashed AZAL plane to the Brazilian Center for Investigation and Prevention of Aircraft Accidents (CENIPA), the Kazakh Ministry of Transport reported.
The decision was made by the Commission for the Investigation of the Aviation Incident.
"Following the provisions of this document, ICAO recommendations, and consultations with the aviation authorities of Azerbaijan and Russia, the commission decided to send the flight recorders to CENIPA in Brazil," the statement reads.
It was noted that in line with the standards of Annex 13 of the Chicago Convention, the state conducting the investigation is responsible for ensuring the flight recorders are analyzed and for selecting the country to carry out their reading and decoding. Kazakhstan ratified this convention in 1992 and is a member of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
