JAKARTA (Reuters) - A renewed search for the cockpit voice recorder of a Lion Air jet that crashed into the Java Sea on Oct. 29 has been delayed for two days due to bad weather hampering the arrival of a specialised ship, the airline said.

The crash, the world's first of a Boeing Co 737 MAX jet, killed all 189 people on board and the main wreckage and second 'black box' were not recovered in an initial search.
