After Malaysia Prime Minister Najib Razak issued new information regarding the missing flight MH370, Inmarsat also released their statement regarding the company’s data analysis. Inmarsat VP Charles McLaughlin told the New York Times, “Our measured series of signals very much mirror the predicted southern track after the last possible turn.” McLaughlin also added that their satellites showed consistency with indications that the plane travelled with less constant speed and direction during the last few hours of its flight.
Malaysia Airlines also sent out a statement clarifying how the company released the news to the family members of those on board the missing MH370 flight. The airline company said, “It is with deep sadness that Malaysia Airlines earlier this evening had to confirm to the families of those on board Flight MH370 that it must now be assumed the flight had been lost. As the Prime Minister said, respect for the families is essential at this difficult time. And it is in that spirit that we informed the majority of the families in advance of the Prime Minister’s statement in person and by telephone. SMSs were used only as an additional means of communicating with the families.”
Meanwhile, following the latest announcements on the search for the missing MH370, Boeing also gave their statement as their airplane was involved in the incident. The aircraft manufacturer said, “Boeing is saddened by today's announcement by the prime minister of Malaysia regarding Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies continue to be with the families and loved ones of those aboard. Boeing continues to serve as a technical advisor to the U.S. National Transportation Board.”
