Malaysia Airlines (MAS) has confirmed that 15 of MH370’s next of kin (NOK) from China visited the airline’s headquarters in Subang earlier today.

The airline’s group chief executive officer Ahmad Jauhari Yahya, along with members of the management committee, also met with three of the 15 next of kin.

“The three next of kin presented a letter to Malaysia Airlines which the airline will respond with a written reply as requested by the NOKs within the next few days,” MAS said in a statement today, without indicating the contents of the letter presented.

“Whilst the airline continues to regularly communicate with the families via its Family Communications and Support Centre (FCSC) in Beijing, it is in no position to provide any further clarification or technical information on the fate of MH370 other than what is already available in the public domain,” added MAS.

The airline also stated that it had given its full commitment to the investigating authorities since the accident occurred and all available information was provided.

“The information provided to Malaysia Airlines regarding the results of the investigation will be shared with the families, when the same is available,” said MAS.

It was earlier reported that the 15 wanted to meet with both Ahmad Jauhari and the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) to find out the reason behind the decision to declare MH370’s disappearance an accident.

Come this March 8, it would be a year since MAS flight MH370 disappeared en-route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

The Boeing 777-200ER, carrying 239 passengers and crew, was scheduled to land in Beijing at 6.30am. Its flight path was believed to have ended in the southern Indian Ocean. On Jan 29, DCA announced that the flight was officially declared an accident based on international aviation rules and that all 239 on board were presumed to have lost their lives.
