“The BEA confirms that there have been ACARS [Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System] messages sent by the plane indicating that there was smoke shortly before the data transmissions broke,” a spokesperson told AFP.
“These messages do not allow in any way to say what may have caused smoke or fire on board the aircraft,” the agency also told Reuters.
