At least 31 bodies have been recovered but another 12 people are still missing.
Fifteen survived the impact when the plane crashed into a river in Taipei.
Officials say the plane’s black box data record has been recovered.
Amateur video shot from the dashboard of a car recorded the moment when the aircraft clipped an overpass with its portside wing and crashed,.
The last communication from one of the pilots was a Mayday call implying a problem with one of the engines.
TransAsia Flight GE235 was carrying 58 passengers and crew and was bound for the Taiwan island of Kinmen.
Taiwan has had a poor aviation safety record in recent years, including the disintegration of a China Airlines 747 on a flight from Taipei to Hong Kong in 2002 killing 225.
