中新网3月24日电 马来西亚总理纳吉布24日晚就马航MH370航班发表声明。
声明全文如下：
今晚我收到英国航空事故调查部门(AAIB)方面的简报。他们告知我，根据卫星公司Inmarsat提供的卫星资料，对此前的南北走廊信息数据进行了进一步计算。他们使用了此前从未在类似事件中使用过的分析方法，能够更清晰地解释MH370航班的航线。
根据他们的最新分析，Inmarsat和AAIB得出结论，MH370航班最后沿南部走廊飞行，最后位置是印度洋中部海域，位于珀斯西面。这是一个非常偏远的地方，与任何可能降落的地点距离都很遥远。因此我怀着深切的悲痛和遗憾告知大家，根据这一最新数据，MH370航班最后地点是南印度洋。
我们将在明天举行新闻发布会，发布更多相关细节。同时，我们希望能尽可能早地通知大家这一最新进展。我们分享的信息遵守了公开和对家属尊重的承诺，这也是我们调查的方向。
马来西亚航空公司已经告知MH370航班机组人员和乘客的家属这一进展。他们在过去的几个星期非常悲痛，这一消息会令他们更加难熬。我敦促媒体尊重他们的隐私，并在这一困难的时期给予他们空间。
KUALA LUMPUR, March 24 (Xinhua) -- New analysis of satellite data suggested that the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 " ended" in the southern Indian Ocean, said Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak on Monday.
He said he was briefed by representatives from the British Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB), which informed him that Inmarsat, the British company that provided the satellite data which indicated the northern and southern corridors, had been performing further calculations on the data.
They had been able to shed more light on the missing plane's flight path by using "a type of analysis never before used in an investigation of this sort," he said.
"Based on their new analysis, Inmarsat and the AAIB have concluded that MH370 flew along the southern corridor, and that its last position was in the middle of the Indian Ocean, west of Perth," said Najib.
The prime minister said as it was a remote location far from any possible landing sites, the missing plane ended in the southern Indian Ocean according to this new data.
He said a press conference with further details would be held tomorrow.
"We share this information out of a commitment to openness and respect for the families, two principles which have guided this investigation," he said.
According to the prime minister, the families of the passengers and crew had been informed of this development by Malaysia Airlines.
The airlines reportedly told relatives of the 239 people on board the missing plane on Monday that it believes the plane went down in the Indian Ocean with no survivors.
With this heartbreaking news, he urged the media to respect the family members' privacy, and to allow them the space they needed at this difficult time.
