CAIRO/PARIS (Reuteurs) No new radio signal has been received from an EgyptAir jet since the day it crashed in the Mediterranean last week, sources close to the investigation said on Friday.
Media reports on Thursday suggested that a new signal had allowed officials to further home in on where the black box recorders might be located.
But the sources told Reuters that nothing new had been detected since a radio signal picked up on the day of the crash from the plane's emergency locator transmitter (ELT) that allowed officials to determine a broadly defined search zone of 5 km (3 miles) in radius
"There has been nothing since day one," one of the sources said.
More than a week after the Airbus A320 crashed on May 19 with 66 people on board, including 30 Egyptians and 15 from France, investigators have no clear picture of its final moments.
Search teams were working against the clock to recover the two flight recorders that will offer vital clues on the fate of flight 804. The acoustic signals that help locate them in deep water stop transmitting after about 30 days.
