(CNN)AirAsia Flight QZ8501 climbed rapidly before it crashed, a top Indonesian official said Tuesday, according to The Jakarta Post.

Then the plane stalled, Transportation Minister Ignasius Jonan said at a parliamentary hearing, according to the AFP and Reuters news agencies.

"The plane, during the last minutes, went up faster than normal speed ... after then, it stalled. That is according to the data from the radar," Jonan said, according to the news agencies.

At one point, the plane was climbing at a speed of 6,000 feet per minute, Jonan said, according to The Jakarta Post.
