Malaysia will release a preliminary report on the disappearance of a Malaysia Airlines plane that went missing more than seven weeks ago.
Acting Malaysian Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said on Wednesday that the report would be made public on Thursday and that it will be similar to the one the government sent to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
“I don’t think there’s going to be any problem to issue it. But we have decided it as a team, that it’s going to be issued tomorrow,” state news agency Bernama quoted him as saying.
The Boeing 777 jet disappeared on March 8 with 239 people on board while traveling from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing, China. Since then, search operations have been going on to find the plane, which is believed – but not yet proven – to have crashed in the southern Indian Ocean.
A massive hunt for any sign of the missing plane has been fruitless so far.
Earlier this week, Australian geophysical survey company GeoResonance said it had found wreckage of a plane about 190 kilometers south of Bangladesh. The private company said it had identified an area in the Bay of Bengal containing “aluminium, titanium, copper, steel alloys and other materials,” which they believed was the wreckage of the airliner.
However, the Joint Agency Coordination Centre (JACC) coordinating the multinational search for the missing plane dismissed the report, saying the location is thousands of miles away from the current search area.
The Kuala Lumpur government said it is working with its international partners to assess the credibility of the information.
