Reuters: Malaysia’s Department of Civil Aviation will release an interim report on the investigation into the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 on 7 March, a day before the one-year anniversary of the disappearance, Deputy Transport Minister Aziz Kaprawi said on Wednesday. “It will have details on the technical investigation,” Aziz told Reuters. 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 flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing carrying 239 passengers and crew went missing on 8 March. 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 US National Transport Safety Board, Britain’s Air Accidents Investigations Branch, China’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Department, France’s Land Transport Accident Investigation Bureau, the Australia Transport Safety Bureau, aircraft manufacturer Boeing and British satellite communications company Inmarsat. The airline’s crisis worsened on 17 July when another jet, Flight MH17, was shot down over Ukraine, killing all 298 people on board. Rounding out 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.
