German national airliner Lufthansa announced Germanwings co-pilot Andreas Lubitz had reported his "major depressive episode" back in 2009.
Last week German authorities announced they had retrieved documents from his home that were later said to be an evidence that he had mental problems, though it was then argued he had "concealed" this from his employer.
It added it would not disclose any further details after having handed a number of documents, including some related to Lubitz's training and his e-mails to the school in Bremen.
Earlier, a number of German media outlets claimed the co-pilot had had a medical document barring him from flying on the day of the crash.
