Missing Malaysia Airlines plane: Andaman boatmen asked to exercise extra vigilance

Port Blair, March 19 (ANI): Indian authorities have instructed local sailors and fishermen in the Andaman and Nicobar islands to keep a sharp eye out and sound alarm if they see anything unusual in wake of the missing Malaysian Airlines aircraft, sailors said. Whilst India has put on hold its search for the missing aircraft at the request of the government in Kuala Lumpur, which wants to reassess the hunt for the vanished plane, fishermen and local boatmen said they had been instructed to exercise extra vigilance while out at sea. Balayogi, a senior sailor on one of the civilian boats in Port Blair, said they were instructed to offer all possible help if they spotted anyone in trouble. P Madhivanan, captain and master of the boat "Lawrence", said they had been asked to immediately alert the communication centre if they found anything unusual in the sea. Mar 19, 2014

Missing plane to hurt Malaysia tourism from China

Mumbai, March 18 (ANI): Malaysia Tourism said on Tuesday that the missing jetliner would hit the lucrative tourism trade from China although normalcy resumed from other sectors. China accounts for 12 percent of tourists to Malaysia, excluding those from neighbouring Singapore. The airline and the Malaysian government have faced demands to speed up their hunt for the plane from China, home to two-thirds of those on the aircraft. The Director General, Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board, Dato Mirza Mohammad Taiyab, who was speaking at a news conference in Mumbai, said that the travellers will overcome the sense of fear. No trace of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 has been found since it vanished on March 08 with 239 people aboard. Investigators are increasingly convinced it was diverted perhaps thousands of miles off course by someone with deep knowledge of the Boeing 777-200ER and commercial navigation. Mar 18, 2014

Malaysian PM confirms missing plane 'deliberately' led off course

Kuala Lumpur, Mar 15 (ANI): Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said Saturday that no conclusive evidence shows missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 is hijacked. He added there is a high degree of certainty that the communication device aboard the plane was disabled and its movement showed deliberate action. But the Boeing 777-200 aircraft did turn back from its last known location on civilian radar, and the signal the Malaysian military radar picked up at the north of the Strait of Malacca was from the missing plane, he added.
