Malaysia, Australia and China will hold a tripartite meeting to determine the next step if the current search fails, said the prime minister.

“We remain committed to doing everything within our means to solving what is an agonizing mystery for the loved ones of those who were lost”, the prime minister said.

Its first report, issued on the one-year anniversary, shed no new light on what remains one of aviation’s greatest mysteries.

Kuala Lumpur: Two years after Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared, answers remain elusive with worldwide investigators yet to arrive at a conclusion over what happened to the jet.

Vessels looking for the Malaysia Airlines jet are due to finish scouring 120,000 square kilometers (46,330 square miles) of southern Indian Ocean in the middle of this year. He said the government is waiting for verification of two more possible pieces of debris, which were discovered recently in Mozambique and Reunion island.

Families have recently stepped up calls for the search to carry on and even be expanded after the designated search zone – an area the size of North Korea – has been fully scanned, which is expected around June.

The plane is believed to have ended its journey in the southern Indian Ocean.

“New information that may become available before the completion of the final report may alter these analysis, findings/conclusions and safety recommendations”, he said when reading out the statement which was televised on RTM1 yesterday, in conjunction with the second anniversary of the aircraft disappearance. And every day since then, Dai has held out hope that they’re still alive.

In another part of Beijing, at the Lama Temple, some relatives gathered instead to pray for their missing parents, spouses, children, siblings and relatives.

“If we can not find them in my life, my will to my family members and to the next generation is to continue searching for them”, Bao said.

But some analysts and executives question a bet on a narrow, regional business model they say could leave it struggling to compete with regional rivals. “That can not happen”, said Zhang Qian, whose husband, Wang Houbin, was among 153 Chinese citizens on the plane.

“We think our relatives are alive”.

“A reasonable inference that can be drawn from all of the available evidence is that the disappearance of flight MH370 was the result of one or more defects in the manufacture and or design of the Boeing airplane”, said the complaint.
