Thursday, March 13, 12:45 AM MYT +0800 Malaysia Airlines MH370 Flight Incident - 16th Media Statement
Malaysia Airlines wishes to clarify the claims that some families of the passengers were flown to India instead of Malaysia. This is not true.
Malaysia Airlines flies directly from Beijing to Kuala Lumpur without a transit. There are also no Malaysia Airlines' direct flights from Hong Kong to Mumbai or any part of India.
The welfare of both the crew and passenger’s families remain our focus. At the same time, the security and safety of our passengers is of the utmost importance to us.

(2014年3月13日零点45分发布)
马来西亚航空谨此澄清，有关聲稱指一些乘客家属被安排從北京飛往馬來西亞时却经过香港到了印度的说法是不正确的。
马航是从北京直飞吉隆坡，並无中转站。而且马航並没有从香港到孟买的直飞航班，也没有从香港直飞印度任何地区的直飞航班。
我们最关切的是乘客及機組成員家属的情況。與此同時，馬航乘客的保安及安全仍然是我們的首要重點。
