      Brazilian military search teams using planes and ships had recovered 41 bodies by Tuesday, but none were found on Wednesday. Briefing reporters, Air Force Brigadier Ramon Borges Cardoso said visibility had been poor in the search areas.

      Television pictures showed a military plane preparing late on Wednesday to fly the first 16 bodies found to Recife on mainland Brazil from the archipelago Fernando de Noronha off the northeast coast, where the search operations are based.

      The 16 bodies had undergone preliminary identification procedures which would be continued in Recife.

      Cardoso said the search for bodies would continue until around June 19, but could go on further if weather conditions and ocean currents were favorable.
