MH370: New Press release as investigations continue and questions begin to be asked…

08/03/2014 by Kevincm

A new statement has been released by Malaysia Airlines into flight MH370 contact loss yesterday:

Sepang, 9 March 2014: Malaysia Airlines humbly asks all Malaysians and people around the world to pray for flight MH370.

It has been more than 24 hours since we last heard from MH370 at 1.30 am. The search and rescue team is yet to determine the whereabouts of the Boeing 777-200 aircraft.

An international search and rescue mission from Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam was mobilized this morning. At this stage, they have failed to find evidence of any wreckage. The sea mission will continue overnight while the air mission will recommence at daylight.

We are dispatching all information as and when we receive it. The situation in Beijing is also being monitored closely. As many families of passengers are in China, we have deployed our “Go Team” to Beijing with a team of caregivers and volunteers to assist the family members of the passengers.

Immediate families of passengers are advised to gather at Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Travel arrangements and expenses will be borne by Malaysia Airlines. Once, the whereabouts of the aircraft is determined, Malaysia Airlines will fly members of the family to the location.

Our sole priority now is to provide all assistance to the families of the passengers and our staff. We are also working closely with the concerned authorities in the search and rescue operation

The families may contact +603 7884 1234.

For media queries, kindly contact +603 8777 5698/ +603 8787 1276.

There will be a press conference at Sama Sama Hotel at 9.00 am tomorrow by DCA.

PR: Malaysia Airlines – http://www.malaysiaairlines.com/my/en/site/dark-site.html

The Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200 (9M-MRO) lost contact between Kuala Lumpur and Vietnam, operating flight MH370 to Beijing Capital Airport.

The location of the plane has not been established. Nor has there been any indication or reports of sabotage nor claims of a terrorist attack.

Some questions are now being asked regarding the passenger manifest – in particular the Italian and Austrian passengers whose nationals were not travelling, but the passports were stolen some time ago – and are in the passenger manifest.

There are still many questions yet to be answered over this incident, but for now, thoughts must be with those affected.
