Tuesday, March 11, 05:29 PM MYT +0800 Malaysia Airlines MH370 Flight Incident - 12th Media Statement
This statement is in reference to the many queries on the alleged five (5) passengers who checked-in but did not board MH370 on 8 March 2014 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing despite having valid tickets to travel.
Malaysia Airlines wishes to clarify that there were four (4) passengers who had valid booking to travel on flight MH370, 8 March 2014, but did not show up to check-in for the flight.
As such, the issue of off-loading unaccompanied baggage did not arise, as the said four passengers did not check in for the flight. Hence, the above claim is untrue.
SUBANG, March 11 — The Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) has denied any inconsistencies between its intelligence reports and that of the police regarding the missing Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight MH370.This comes after the Royal Malaysia Police refuted today DCA’s previous report that there were five individuals who had checked into MH370 but did not board the plane.
“Yes, I said that. But I also said that the case would be investigated further.
“What the police are now saying... is after further investigation,” DCA director-general Datuk Azharuddin Abdul Rahman told reporters here.
Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said this afternoon that every passenger booked on the missing Boeing B777-200 had boarded the flight.
Flight MH370 bound for Beijing and carrying 239 people disappeared roughly one hour into its flight in the early hours of Saturday.
Three days since it vanished, a multi-country search operation has yet to yield any result.
