Malaysia Airlines 鈥榥o plans鈥 to fly relatives to Ukraine

MALAYSIA Airlines has no immediate plans to fly the relatives of the 298 passengers and crew killed in the downing of flight MH17 to visit the site because of security concerns, the carrier said yesterday.

Next of kin are being cared for in Amsterdam, while a team from the airline, including security officials, is in Ukraine assessing the situation, said a spokesman, who declined to be named in line with company policy.

The team is trying to travel “500 kilometers through difficult territory” to reach the area where wreckage of the Boeing 777 landed, he said.

At Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport yesterday, people laid flowers and signed a condolence book before boarding flights, including Malaysia Airlines flight 17 to Kuala Lumpur.
