MH370: Malaysia Airlines assures Chinese relatives transparency

BEIJING: The Malaysia Airlines will continue to be transparent in communicating with the relatives of the passengers who were on board the missing MH370 Boeing on all matters about the plane.

The airlines said bi-monthly meetings had been held here to provide regular updates on MH370 to the Chinese relatives.

“The bi-monthly briefings shall remain private as it is the airline’s duty to respect the privacy of the issues being discussed with the next-of-kin,” MAS told Bernama.

It said its officers managed to speak to a small group of the Chinese relatives yesterday at a briefing to elaborate on the latest development pertaining to the flaperon found on Reunion Island.

Early Thursday, Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak announced that international experts had confirmed that the flaperon found on the French Reunion Island is from Flight MH370.

Flight MH370 was carrying 239 passengers, mostly Chinese, and crew enroute to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur when it vanished from the radar on March 8 last year.
