KUALA LUMPUR, April 2 — Malaysia Airlines (MAS) said it has been advised that a petition filed on behalf of one of the passengers on board the missing MH370 flight has been dismissed by order of a US Court.
MAS announced this to Bursa Malaysia yesterday. The petition was recently filed in a US Court against the national carrier as well as the Boeing Company, an aircraft manufacturer.
MAS received the copy of the petition on March 27. Flight MH370, carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew, left the Kuala Lumpur International Airport at 12.41 am on March 8 and disappeared from radar screens about an hour later while flying over the South China Sea.
The B777-200 aircraft was due to arrive in Beijing at 6:30 am on the same day. A multinational search for the ill-fated aircraft is still underway at the southern corridor of the Indian Ocean.
