Planned air search activities have been suspended for today due to poor weather conditions in the search area.
Three aircraft had already departed for today's search area prior to the suspension taking effect. They have been recalled.
Current weather conditions are resulting in heavy seas and poor visibility and are making air search activities ineffective and potentially hazardous.
The 12 ships involved in today's search will continue with their planned activities.
