Sky News are reporting that the Air Asia Flight QZ8501 was not authorised to fly and that the company could lose its licence in Indonesia as it emerges the doomed flight was not allowed to travel on the day of the crash.
Indonesia's transport ministry has suspended all AirAsia flights between Surabaya and Singapore – the route where the plane went missing in the early hours of 28 December.
The budget airline's other schedules are also under investigation, as it was not permitted to make this journey on Sundays.It comes as ships searching for the wreckage pinpointed "four big objects" on the seabed, with underwater remote operating vehicles attempting to capture images of the debris.
No survivors have been found from Flight QZ8501, which had 162 people on board, including one Briton.
Radar data appears to show that the plane made an "unbelievably" steep climb before it crashed, possibly beyond the capabilities of the aircraft.
