mh17 flight

Dutch-led air crash investigators on Tuesday will release their final report into the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over war-torn Ukraine, in a move likely to worsen already-strained ties between Russia and the West.

Workers began removing the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 from rebel-held territory in eastern Ukraine, four months after it was shot down killing 298 passengers and crew.

The UN's aviation council has held Russia responsible for the 2014 downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 over Ukraine, which killed all 298 on board, including many Dutch and Australian citizens. The ICAO stated Russia violated international air law, a claim Russia rejects as biased. The Netherlands and Australia seek reparations, while Russia denies involvement.

The European Court of Human Rights held Russia accountable for the MH17 tragedy and rights abuses in Ukraine. The court addressed cases filed by Ukraine and Netherlands related to Moscow's actions since 2014. Despite Russia's expulsion from the Council of Europe, the court asserted its jurisdiction. Volodymyr Zelenskyy has approved plans for a new international court.

On the aerial route between flight paths given to Air India One and MH17 over Ukraine was another AI flight (AI113) winging its way from Delhi to Birmingham with 126 people on board.

Soon after the news of the crash came in, Air India sent an urgent note to all its pilots to reroute their flights and avoid overflying the Ukranian airspace.

Malaysians are too "stupid" to manage aviation, the country's former premier Mahathir Mohamad has reportedly said following news that a German is set to head the country's troubled national carrier from next year.

Malaysia Airlines seems to be suffering from a spate of glitches on its India flights. Its Delhi-Kuala Lumpur (KL) flight scheduled to leave India on Sunday noon had to be canceled due to technical glitches.

The incident supposedly happened when the passenger expressed nervousness about flying following the disappearance of Flight MH370 in March and the downing of Flight MH17 in July.

Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, which was shot down over rebel-held eastern Ukraine close to the Russian border, was flying at a level deemed safe for passenger flights by the Ukrainian government.

Dutch cyclist Maarten de Jonge escaped death twice after he made last minute changes to his flight tickets for the illfated MH370 and MH17 of Malaysia Airlines, media reports said on Sunday.

The flight has been rescheduled to depart Kuala Lumpur on Sunday.

Believers in destiny might say this proves that, 370 or 17, one goes only when one's number is up. Even cynics would concede that it's a remarkable coincidence.

When Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was shot down in Ukraine on July 17, two other passenger aircraft — of Air India and Singapore Airlines — were flying close to it.

The govt’s claim that there was no Air India flight near the ill-fated Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 when it was shot down over Ukraine appears misleading.
