Missing MAS flight: No word after more than 24 hours
There is no firm news of Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight MH370 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing although it has been reported missing more than 24 hours ago.
MAS' Executive Media Relations and Strategic Communications Malini
Saudranrajan urged Malaysians and people worldwide to pray for flight
MH370.
"It has been more than 24 hours since we last heard from MH370 at
1.30am. The search and rescue team is yet to determine the whereabouts
of the Boeing 777-200 aircraft," she said in a statement at 2.02am on
Sunday.
She said an international search and rescue mission from Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam was mobilised 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," she said.
"Since many families of passengers are in China, MAS has deployed
the "Go Team" to Beijing with a team of caregivers and volunteers to
assist family members of the passengers.
She said immediate families of passengers are advised to gather at
Kuala Lumpur International Airport.(KLIA). Travel arrangements and
expenses will be borne by MAS.
"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," she said.
