KUALA LUMPUR: The last words spoken from the cockpit of flight MH370 that went missing on Mar 8 were believed to have been spoken by the co-pilot, Malaysia Airlines said.
"Initial investigations indicate it was the co-pilot who basically spoke," MAS chief executive officer Ahmad Jauhari Yahya told a news briefing on Monday.
The last message from the cockpit - "All right, good night" - came after one of the plane's crucial signalling systems had been manually disabled.
Officials previously said that those words came at a point in the March 8 flight when one of the jetliner's data communications systems already had been switched off.
The timing of the last words has sharpened suspicions that one or both of the pilots may have been involved in the plane's disappearance.
