Acting Transport Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein has confirmed that a high-level team will be leaving for Beijing tonight after families were left stunned following the Prime Minister’s announcement on Monday evening.

He said that the families will also be provided with the press release issued by UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB).

“It will be brought to the families in Beijing so they will understand how we have narrowed down the search to the southern corridor,” he said during a press conference at PWTC.

Malaysia Airlines Group Chief Executive Officer Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said that the family members wanted more information.

“The fact that yesterday’s announcement did not carry much details, therefore everybody was speculating that we are holding back information.

“I think with the high-level delegation going there to explain, I hope that it will satisfy them in terms of action taken in concentrating in the southern corridor,” said Ahmad Jauhari.

The high-level delegation’s trip to Beijing followed dramatic scenes in Beijing, when stretcher-bearing paramedics were drafted in to tend to family members devastated by the news, which was broken to them by the airline at a hotel where they had gathered throughout the 17-day ordeal.

Scores of angry relatives of the Chinese passengers aboard Flight MH370 set out on a protest march to the Malaysian embassy in Beijing Tuesday to demand more answers about the crashed plane's fate.
