At a live press conference in Kuala Lumpur, the Malaysian Civil Aviation Authority, it has been stated that despite various objects being sighted, nothing of the aircraft or “bits of the aircraft” has been found or has been verified. The Vietnamese authorities confirm no parts from plane have been found.

They have stated it is a “perplexing situation” and they are going back to the Malacca Straits to search saying: We will be intensifying our efforts to locate the missing aircraft

Hijacking is just one of the scenarios being considered and no other possibilities have been ruled out.
