Kuala Lumpur: The Malaysian government is still discussing with the
Australian and Chinese authorities to identify a new location in the
Indian Ocean to locate the Malaysia Airlines (MAS) Flight MH370 aircraft
which vanished on March 8.
Acting Transport Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said the discussion also involved a new phase and the use of suitable assets for the operation to locate the aircraft.
“That is very important in this new phase because without knowing or deciding where this area is going to be, it’s very difficult for us to understand what sort of equipment is needed, which have specific capabilities, for the search mission,” he said.
He said this to reporters after opening the 2014 annual convention of the Armed Forces Religious Corp and launching a book here yesterday.
Flight MH370, with 227 passengers and 12 crew which was on its way to Beijing, China went off the radar on March 8, an hour after departing from the KL International Airport at 12.41am.
