June 1 (Bloomberg) -- Tam SA said crew members of one of its flights saw flashes of light over the Atlantic Ocean near where a missing Air France aircraft last sent a signal.

Crew members were on the Tam flight to Rio de Janeiro from Paris when they saw the flashes about 1,300 kilometers (808 miles) from Fernando de Noronha island, Brazil’s second-largest airline said in an e-mailed statement.

The Air France jet sent its last distress signal approximately 840 kilometers from Fernando de Noronha, according to Brazil’s Air Force.
