DOZENS of workers have started cutting up the plane that crashed in shallow water off Indonesia's resort island of Bali.

The Boeing 737-800 operated by Indonesia's largest budget carrier Lion Air missed the runway and crashed into the sea on Saturday. All 108 people on board the flight survived, with more than 40 injured.

More than 70 people equipped with hydraulic and electric saws, including soldiers and police, were involved in the effort on Tuesday to remove the wreckage, Bali's airbase commander Atang Sudrajat said.

"We hope to finish the work today," he said.

Investigators on Monday retrieved the plane's voice cockpit recorder, which could shed light on what happened at the time of the crash.

The flight data recorder was found earlier and the information was being studied, Transportation Minister Evert Mangindaan said.

Indonesia has taken measures to improve its aviation safety standards following a series of fatal air accidents in the last 10 years.

Mangindaan said Lion Air would be subjected to a special audit following the accident.

"We will continue to monitor compliance to safety standards so that such an accident won't happen again," he said.
