Indonesian Navy divers have recovered the flight data recorder from a commercial plane that crashed into the Java Sea just minutes after taking off from Jakarta on Saturday.

The Indonesian Transportation Ministry says the jet didn't fly for nine months last year due to reduced air travel demand during the pandemic.
