  • Story Text: Malaysia's Department of Civil Aviation was scheduled to hold a news conference on Thursday (January 29) on the latest developments in the investigation into the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 on March 7, almost a year after its disappearance.
    The flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing carrying 239 passengers and crew went missing on March 8.
    Months of searches have failed to turn up any trace of the missing Boeing 777 aircraft.
    Malaysia's Deputy Transport Minister Aziz Kaprawi said on Wednesday (January 28) that an interim report on the investigation into the plane's disappearance will be released on March 7.
    This is to abide by a requirement from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) for Malaysia to release an interim report on the anniversary of the incident, said Aziz.
    The findings of an international investigation team set up in April 2014 will also be included in the report.
    The international team consists of the U.S. National Transport Safety Board, Britain's Air Accidents Investigation Branch, China's Aircraft Accident Investigation Department, France's Land Transport Accident Investigation Bureau, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, aircraft manufacturer Boeing and British satellite communications company Inmarsat.
    The airline's troubles worsened on July 17 when another jet, Flight MH17, was shot down over Ukraine, killing all 298 people on board.
    Ending a bad year for Southeast Asian carriers, an AirAsia flight from Indonesia's second-biggest city of Surabaya to Singapore crashed in December, killing all 162 people on board.
