The
government of Malaysia has officially declared the loss of Malaysia Airlines
flight 370 an accident and all of its passengers
and crew presumed dead.
But the search for the missing
Boeing 777 will continue.
The formal declaration, read
Thursday by civil aviation director Azharuddin Abdul Rahman, will allow the
families of those presumed dead to continue the compensation process with the
airline or with insurers.
"It is therefore, with the
heaviest heart and deepest sorrow that, on behalf of the Government of
Malaysia, we officially declare Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 an accident in
accordance with the Standards of Annexes 12 and 13 to the Chicago Convention
and that all 239 of the passengers and crew on board MH370 are presumed to have
lost their lives," Azharuddin said.
MH370 disappeared from radar on
March 8, 2014, after taking off from Kuala Lumpur en route to Beijing.
