Malaysian Airlines

Former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said senior Malaysian officials initially suspected the pilot of a Boeing 777 on Malaysian Airlines (flight MN370) for intentionally causing the plane crash nearly six years ago.

Malaysia has received proposals from three companies offering to continue the search for Malaysian Airlines flight MH370, which has been missing since 2014, but no decision has been made yet.

The searches in the Indian Ocean for the Malaysian Airlines MH370 flight have been officially called off after three years.

According to an announcement made by China, Australia and Malaysia, although the most advanced technological equipment were used, the airplane was not located.

Malaysian Airlines flight MH17, which crashed in Eastern Ukraine in July 2014, was downed by a Russian-made 9M38 anti-aircraft Buk missile, a report prepared by the Dutch Safety Board says.

A piece of a wing that washed up on an Indian Ocean island last week was part of the wreckage of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370, Malaysia said on Aug. 6, confirming the discovery of the first trace of the plane since it vanished last year.

Plane wreckage found on an Indian Ocean island is "very likely to be from a Boeing 777", Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said on July 30, as speculation mounted that it could be debris from missing flight MH370.

A fourth ship with enhanced search capabilities has been commissioned to join the underwater hunt for missing flight MH370, Australian authorities said Jan. 14, with 14,000 square kilometres (5,405 square miles) of the sea floor scoured so far.
      

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott on Nov. 6 warned Vladimir Putin he will not be able to avoid a "conversation" over the loss of Australian lives in the downing of Flight MH17 over Ukraine.
      
Last month Abbott vowed to "shirtfront" the Russian president at the G20 summit in Brisbane next week, although Moscow has yet to respond to his request for a bilateral meeting.
