At the same time, investigators will have to evaluate reported testimony from a female flight attendant who said the plane had run out of fuel.
A chartered aircraft with 81 people on board, including the Brazilian first division Chapecoense soccer team which was heading to Colombia for a regional tournament final, crashed on its way to Medellin's international airport.
