Kuala Lumpur: Fresh information gleaned from radar data now reportedly shows that the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 had skirted Indonesian airspace likely to avoid detection on March 8.
In a breaking news report on CNN this afternoon, senior international correspondent Nick Robertson said this was confirmed by a “senior Malaysian government official”, and suggested the possibility of a more sinister reason behind MH370’s disappearance a month ago.
“What this official says is that after the Malaysia Airlines flight 370 took that left-hand turn, deviated from its path to Beijing, flew across Malaysia... the official now says that they know from looking at radar data from neighbouring countries that the flight then skirted the radar airspace of Indonesia,” he said in his report from Kuala Lumpur.
The Boeing 777’s flight path clearly showed that someone on the plane was piloting the aircraft in this manner to avoid detection from Indonesian radars, he added, citing the Malaysian source.
The plane was then deliberately flown around northern Indonesia instead of flying over the country before it headed in a southerly direction towards the Indian Ocean where a multi-nation hunt is currently looking for it, Robertson said.
The senior correspondent said the new information could now help investigators build a psychological profile on the flight crew aboard MH370, especially the two pilots manning the cockpit.
