Kuala Lumpur- The Malaysian government has now officially declared the disappearance of Malaysian Airline flight MH370 an accident and says there were no survivors.
No trace of the Beijing-bound aircraft has been found since it disappeared on 8 March 2014. Officials say that the recovery operation is ongoing but that the 239 people onboard are now presumed dead.
The plane's whereabouts are still unknown despite a massive international search in the southern Indian Ocean.
This declaration might allow compensation payments to relatives of the victims.
