Malaysia Airlines says one of its planes has gone missing on the way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board.
A statement from the airline says flight MH370 lost contact with air traffic controllers at 2:40am local time, just over two hours into the flight.
The plane, a Boeing 777-200, left Kuala Lumpur at 12:41am on Saturday, and had been due to arrive in Beijing at 6:30am local time.
The company says the plane was carrying 227 passengers, including two infants, and 12 crew members.
The airline says it is contacting the next-of-kin of all passengers and crew, which includes people of 13 different nationalities.
In a statement on the airline's website, group chief executive officer Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said the airline was working with authorities to locate the aircraft.
"Focus of the airline is to work with the emergency responders and authorities and mobilise its full support," the statement said.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with all affected passengers and crew and their family members."
The airline says it will provide regular updates on its website.
The ABC understand Malaysia Airlines will hold a press conference on the incident shortly.

The oil slicks were made by ships.
I wonder if it is a hi-jacking of some sort and the plane is safely on the ground somewhere.

I wonder if it had an encounter with something extra terrestrial. They can't find any signs of the plane. It could have.

I did wonder that myself Ufo. Hubby wanted to know if it flew over the bermuda triangle

The devil's sea is located south of japan. It is asia's bermuda triangle. A lot of unexplained phenomena has been going on there for decades. It is rumoured an extra terrestrial base is at the bottom of the ocean as strange craft have been seen flying out of the water and towards the sky at great speed. Maybe this had something to do with the disappearance of the plane.

It's hard to believe there is no trace of the plane.
Now they are saying the 2 passengers were not of Asian appearance.

Yes, it was an official Minister that orginally said the two on stolen passports were Asian.
I also read this morning one of the areas they are searching for the plane is not one where they would have expected it to be in, but they won't disclose the reasons why they are searching there.

There has been some suggestion that the plane started to turn back to Malaysia.
