I have been appraised of the ongoing search operation round the clock. At the beginning of the opera


Overnight, it was reported that the pilots homes were searched again. There was additional scrutiny placed on both flight crew Capt. Zaharie Ahmad Shah, 53, and first officer, Fariq Abdul Hamid, 27 as the last voice communication from the plane all right, good night , was made some 40 minutes after the transponder via Acars, the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting honeymoon vacation packages System, had been turned off. Capt. Ahmad s flight simulator was seized by government authorities who are piecing through its data for possible clues. First Officer Hamid had been reprimanded by the airline for reportedly allowing 2 female passengers in the flight deck in-flight. However Malaysian defense minister, Hishammuddin honeymoon vacation packages Hussein, who is also acting minister of transportation said in a Sunday press conference that  “the pilot and co-pilot did not ask to fly together” on the ill-fated flight.
Recently, honeymoon vacation packages USA Today has reported that one of the pilots was a political activist. However his friends and family told USA Today that he was not a terrorist. He was just a strong supporter of the political opposition leader. Authorities continue to collect information about the other crew members honeymoon vacation packages onboard, ground crew, and passengers.
The location of of the missing jet 777 covers a massive area that includes both the Indian Ocean and rugged, remote terrain in Asia. Pakistani officials said that the aircraft did not show up on their radars.
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak issued a statement  on the investigation into missing Malaysia honeymoon vacation packages Airlines Flight 370. We are printing this in its entirety below. Shortly after, Malaysia Airlines issues its own statement in response to that of the prime minister s.
Seven days ago Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared. We realize this is an excruciating time for the families of those on board. No words can describe the pain they must be going through. Our thoughts and our prayers are with them.
I have been appraised of the ongoing search operation round the clock. At the beginning of the operation, I ordered the search honeymoon vacation packages area to be broadened; I instructed the Malaysian authorities to share all relevant information freel and transparently with the wider investigation team; and I requested that our friends and allies join the operation. As of today, 14 countries, 43 ships and 58 aircraft are involved in the search. I wish to thank all the governments for their help at such a crucial time.
Since day one, the Malaysian authorities have worked hand-in-hand with our international partners – including neighboring countries, the aviation honeymoon vacation packages authorities and a multinational search force – many of whom have been here on the ground since Sunday.
We have shared information in real time with authorities who have the necessary experience to interpret the data. We have been working nonstop to assist the investigation. And we have put our national security second to the search for the missing plane.
We have conducted search operations over land, in the South China Sea, the Straits of Malacca, the Andaman Sea and the Indian Ocean. At every stage, honeymoon vacation packages we acted on the basis of verified information, and we followed every credible lead. Sometimes these leads have led nowhere.
honeymoon vacation packages There has been intense speculation. We understand the desperate need for information on behalf of the families and those watching around the world. But we have a responsibility to the investigation and the families to only release information that has been corroborated. And our primary motivation has always been to find the plane.
In the first phase of the search operation, we searched near MH370’s last known position, in the South China Sea. At the same time, it was brought to our attention by the Royal Malaysian Air Force that, based on their primary radar, an aircraft – the identity of which could not be confirmed – made a turn back. The primary radar data showed the aircraft proceeding on a flight path which took it to an area north of the Straits of Malacca.
Given this credible data, which was subsequently corroborated with the relevant international authorities, we expanded the area of search to include the Straits of Malacca and, later, to the Andaman Sea.
Early this morning I was briefed by the investigation team – which includes the F.A.A., N.T.S.B., honeymoon vacation packages the A.A.I.B., the Malaysian authorities and the acting minister of transport – on new information honeymoon vacation packages that sheds further light on what happened to MH370.
Based on new satellite information, honeymoon vacation packages we can say with a high degree of certainty that the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) was disabled just before the aircraft reached the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Shortly afterwards, near the border between Malaysian and Vietnamese air traffic control, the aircraft’s transponder was switched off.
From this point onwards, the Royal Malaysian Air Force primary radar showed honeymoon vacation packages that an aircraft which was believed honeymoon vacation packages – but not confirmed – to be MH370 did indeed turn back. It then flew in a westerly honeymoon vacation packages direction back over Peninsular Malaysia before turning northwest. Up until the point at which it left military honeymoon vacation packages primary radar coverage, these movements are consistent with deliberate action by someone on the plane.
Today, based on raw satellite data that was obtained from the satellite honeymoon vacation packages data service provider, we can confirm that the aircraft shown in the primary radar data was flight MH370. After much forensic work and deliberation, the F.A.A., N.T.S.B., A.A.I.B. and the Malaysian authorities, working separately on the same data, concur.
According to the new data, the last confirmed communication between the plane and the satellite honeymoon vacation packages was at 8:11 a.m. Malaysian time on Saturday 8th March. The investigations team is making further calculations which will indicate how far the aircraft may have flown after this last point of contact. This will help us to refine the search.
However, based on this new data, the aviation authorities of Malaysia and their international counterparts have determined that the plane’s last communication with the satellite was in one of two possible corridors: honeymoon vacation packages a northern corridor stretching approximately from the border of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan to northern Thailand, or a southern corridor stretching approximately from Indonesia honeymoon vacation packages to the southern Indian Ocean. The investigation team is working to further refine the information.
In view of this latest development the Malaysian authorities have refocused their investigation into the crew and passengers on board. Despite media reports that the plane was hijacked, I wish to be very clear: we are still investigating all possibilities as to what caused MH370 to deviate from its original flight path.
This new satellite information has a significant impact on the nature and scope of the search operation. We are ending our operations in the South China Sea and reassessing the redeployment of our assets. We are working with the relevant countries honeymoon vacation packages to request all information relevant to the search, including radar data.
As the two new corridors involve many countries, the relevant foreign embassies have been invited to a briefing on the new information today by the Malaysian Foreign Ministry and the technical experts. I have also instructed the Foreign Ministry to provide a full briefing to foreign governments which had passengers honeymoon vacation packages on the plane. This morning, Malaysia Airlines has been informing the families of the passengers and crew of these new developments.
Clearly, the search for MH370 has entered a new phase. Over the last seven days, we have followed honeymoon vacation packages every lead and looked into every possibility. For the families and friends of those involved, we hope this new information brings us one step closer to finding the plane.
Further to the statement by the Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak earlier today into the ongoing search for Flight MH370, Malaysia Airlines has shared all available information with the relevant authorities since the moment we learned that the aircraft had disappeared, in the early hours of Saturday 8th March. This includes the very first indications that MH370 may have remained airborne for several hours after contact was lost, which the Prime Minister referred to today.
This is truly an unprecedented situation, for Malaysia Airlines and for the entire aviation industry. There has never been a case in which information gleaned from satellite signals alone could potentially be used to identify the location of a missing honeymoon vacation packages commercial airliner. Given the nature of the situation honeymoon vacation packages and its extreme sensitivity, it was critical that the raw satellite signals were verified and analysed by the relevant authorities so that their significance could be properly understood. This naturally took some time, during which we were unable to publicly confirm their existence.
We were well aware of the ongoing media speculation during this period, and its effect on the families of those on board. Their anguish and distress increases with each passing honeymoon vacation packages day, with each fresh rumour, and with each false or misleading media report. Our absolute priority at all times has been to support the authorities leading the multinational search for MH370, so that we can finally provide the answers which the families and the wider community are waiting for.
We remain absolutely committed to sharing confirmed information with family members and the wider public in a fully open and transparent manner. However given the nature of the situation, the importance of validating new information before it is released into the public domain is paramount.
Our thoughts and prayers remain honeymoon vacation packages with the families of the 227 passengers and our 12 Malaysia Airlines colleagues and friends on board flight MH370. They will remain honeymoon vacation packages at the centre of every action we take as a company, as they have been since MH370 first disappeared.
