Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 (MH370/MAS370), also marketed as China Southern Airlines flight 748 (CZ748) through a codeshare, was a scheduled passenger flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing, China. On 8 March 2014, theBoeing 777-200ER aircraft operated by Malaysia Airlines disappeared in flight with 227 passengers on board from 15 countries, most of whom were Chinese, and 12 crew members. The aircraft last made contact with air traffic control less than an hour after take-off.
A joint search-and-rescue effort covering an area of 27,000 square nautical miles (93,000 square kilometres; 36,000 square miles) in the Strait of Malacca and the South China Sea[1][2] is being conducted by more than 12 countries. Vietnam briefly reduced its efforts on 11 March, but the search area continued to expand and searchers began to look for evidence on land. On 12 March, authorities also began to search the Andaman Sea, northwest of the Strait of Malacca.[3][4][5][6]
Two passengers boarded the aircraft using stolen passports, which initially raised concerns of a terrorist plot,[7] but Malaysian police subsequently identified both passengers saying they were unlikely to be terrorists.[8]
There have been a number of false leads.[9] US officials have said they expect the search to be extended to the Indian Ocean,[10][11] as their investigators have reviewed the possibility that the aircraft headed west back across the Malay Peninsula and remained capable of flying for another four hours after first disappearing from radar.[12][13]
On 13 March, Malaysia Airlines retired the codes MH370 and MH371.[14]
