Officials previously warned that due to the remoteness of the crash site and difficult weather conditions the operation could last for days. A full passenger list has not been released, but the majority of those killed were German and Spanish nationals.
The crash so distressed Germanwings crews that many did not show up for work, forcing mass flight cancellations, the RT news organization reported.
"One must not forget: many of our Germanwings crews have known crew members who were on board the crashed plane," Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr said in a written statement. Lufthansa owns Germanwings, which was forced to cancel 30 flights across Europe, the Bild and RT news organizations reported.
