Searches have started in two vast air corridors for missing flight MH370, Malaysia's transport minister has said.
Malaysia says the plane was intentionally diverted and could have flown on either a northern or southern arc from its last known position.
Searches have started in two vast air corridors for missing flight MH370, Malaysia's transport minister has said.
Malaysia says the plane was intentionally diverted and could have flown on either a northern or southern arc from its last known position.
Twenty-six countries have now been asked to help find the jet, which disappeared over a week ago with 239 people on board.
The airline believes the co-pilot spoke the final words to ground controllers.
Malaysia Airlines chief executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya also said it is not clear whether the last words from the cockpit - "All right, good night" - came before or after one of the plane's tracking devices was switched off.
Officials previously said they did not know who said those words, but the airline says it now believes it was co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid.
Meanwhile, investigators are looking at a northern arc stretching from the border of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan to northern Thailand, and a southern arc from Indonesia to the Indian Ocean.
