KUALA LUMPUR – Malaysia Airlines (MAS) has informed families of passengers on board missing flight MH370 that the plane is assumed to have crashed with no survivors.
The airline said this in a message to the families on Monday night, ahead of a press conference by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak.
“It is with deep sadness and regret that I must inform you that MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean,” Mr Najib told a press briefing shortly after the news broke.
He said based on new analysis, it is concluded that MH370 flew along the southern corridor, last position in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
The area is in a remote location, far from any land sites, he added.
He said MAS has briefed the families and Malaysia will hold another press conference on Tuesday.
