Notes
- ↑ An Ex-Malaysia Airlines leased Boeing 777, formerly registered 9M-MRI and withdrawn from service in early 2013, was the focus of conspiracy theories following the loss of 9M-MRO on flight MH370. Although this aircraft was to be stored and dismantled, it was spotted at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv in late 2013. A lot has been written on forums etc. Treat with caution!
