MH17 crew relatives file lawsuit

THE families of six cabin crew aboard Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 yesterday filed a lawsuit suing the airline for negligence and breach of contract, nearly two years after the plane was downed over eastern Ukraine.

Flight MH17 was en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur when it was shot down in July 2014, killing all 298 passengers and crew.

The aircraft was hit by a Russian-made surface-to-air missile, the Dutch Safety Board concluded last year, but did not identify any responsible party or group.

The lawsuit, filed in the Kuala Lumpur High Court, names as defendants Malaysian Airline System (MAS) and Malaysia Airlines Berhad, which replaced MAS last year. A lawyer said: “They failed to take seriously the warnings of the possible dangers that they may have faced.”
