AirAsia Flight QZ-8501’s wreckage may have been found via sonar on the ocean floor off the coast of Borneo, reports on Wednesday said.

Search and rescue crews, however, won’t be able to do much for the remainder of the day due to bad weather.

The head of the search and rescue agency in Surabaya, Hernanto, told Reuters they believed that the plane was found in waters between 160 and 165 feet deep. AirAsia Chief Executive Tony Fernandes added that nothing has been confirmed.

The apparent wreckage was located on sonar near where bodies and debris were found. According to the news agency, the sonar image shows an upside down airplane.

So far, seven bodies have been recovered from the water, including that of a woman wearing a flight attendant’s uniform.

On Wednesday afternoon, AirAsia issued its latest statement, saying CEO Tony Fernandes met with the leaders of the search and rescue mission. “The search and rescue operations were unfortunately hampered by bad weather today but I am hopeful they will be able to resume the search tomorrow,” Fernandes said.
