Malaysia has declared the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines
Flight MH370 an accident, clearing the way for the airline to pay compensation
to victims' relatives while the search for the plane goes on. The Boeing 777
aircraft (BA.N) disappeared on March 8 last year, carrying 239 passengers and
crew shortly after taking off from the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur, bound
for Beijing, Reuters reports.
"We officially declare Malaysia Airlines flight MH370
an accident, and that all 239 of the passengers and crew onboard MH370 are
presumed to have lost their lives," Department of Civil Aviation (DCA)
director-general Azharuddin Abdul Rahman said in a statement.
The announcement is in accordance with standards of annexes
12 and 13 in the International Civil Aviation, said Azharuddin. It will allow
families of the passengers to obtain assistance through compensation, he said.
