MALAYSIA Airlines this morning revealed the content of the last communication between missing flight MH370 and the Malaysian air traffic operator, saying the aircraft had entered the jurisdiction area of the Vietnam.

The air traffic controller of Malaysia told the Boeing 777 aircraft that “we have handed you over to the jurisdiction area of Ho Chi Minh City,” while the flight answered “copy that,” a spokesman with the airline said at a briefing for Chinese family members of the flight’s passengers at the Beijing Lido Hotel.

Flight MH370 never reported any abnormal conditions before it went missing. Radar could not trace the flight but still spotted a flying object that disappeared several minutes later, the spokesman said. There was no communication with air traffic controllers in Vietnam.

“The possibilities include the pilot turning off the signal, the plane being hijacked or the radio system malfunctioning as well as the plane being dismantled,” he said, adding the airline hopes it was a hijacking because that means the passengers could still be alive.
