Flight MH370 Search to Be ’Suspended’

Local Editor

The search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 will be "suspended" if the plane is not found in the current search area, a statement issued to the next of kin seen by Reuters said Friday.

The statement said the ministers from Malaysia, China and Australia who met in Kuala Lumpur had agreed that if the plane is not found in current search area, and in the absence of new credible evidence on its location, the search "would not end, but be suspended".

MH370 disappeared during a flight from the Malaysian capital to Beijing in March 2014, carrying 239 people.

The search, originally scheduled to end in June, has been hampered by bad weather.
