Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 (MH370) was a scheduled international passenger flight operated by Malaysia Airlines that disappeared on 8 March 2014 while flying from Kuala Lumpur International Airport to Beijing Capital International Airport. The aircraft involved was a Boeing 777-200ER, which was manufactured by the Boeing Company in the United States. The disappearance remains one of the greatest mysteries in aviation history, leading to an extensive search operation across the southern Indian Ocean.

Malaysia Airlines (formerly known as Malaysian Airline System) is the national carrier of Malaysia. The airline has its origins in Malayan Airways Limited, founded in 1947. Over the decades, it underwent several restructuring phases and name changes. Following the twin tragedies of MH370 and MH17 in 2014, the airline was privatized and is now owned by the Malaysian government through its sovereign wealth fund. The airline continues to serve as a key symbol of Malaysian national identity and a vital link for international commerce and tourism.
