Flight MH370 ended in southern Indian Ocean, says Najib
He said that Immarsat, the company that indicated the plane flew
along northern and southern corridors, have managed to trace its final
flight path, using sophisticated technology.
"Using a type of analysis never before used in an investigation of
this sort, they have been able to shed more light on MH370's flight
path."
He said that MAS, together with AAIB, determined that MH370 flew
along the southern corridor, and its last position was in the middle of
the Indian Ocean West of Perth.
"With deep sadness and regret, that according to this new data, flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean," he said.
He added that a press conference would be held tomorrow with further details about the latest findings.
"In the meantime, we wanted to inform you of this new development at
the earliest opportunity. We share this information out of a commitment
to openness and respect for the families, two principles which have
guided this investigation," said Najib.
MH370, which had been missing for the last 17 days, disappeared from
Malaysian radars at 2.15am on March 8 after taking off from Kuala Lumpur
International Airport for Beijing at 1.30am. It carried 239 passengers
and crew.
