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.

it must be mind numbingly excrutiating and torturous for family, relatives and friends of all missing aboard......and a total insult to all concerned how those with the knowledge of the TRUTH are refusing to tell.

[lakeland27]

cop the insult until you know what it actually is then out of respect for the families .

[fourandsixpants]

......and anyone else, myself included are not to question, discuss this issue.....because doing so is being 'disrespectful'???????

.....logic in this?

[lakeland27]

thats not what i mean, speculation is just that, is what i mean. i guess i tire of it.   time will reveal what happened.

[fourandsixpants]

......so, we should adopt this same attitude about TA's latest Repeal Days and not speculate too much ?

.....very, very tiresome afterall

.....besides, time will reveal what happens.

The RAAF have sent a plane to help search. Does this mean the Australian Government is part of the cover up or have they fallen for a con job that seems to have fooled everybody except you?

I wonder if they'll ever find it. sometimes things are never found, how sad for the families who are still clinging onto hope.

.....only because those in charge have suggested that Cocos or Christmas Islands may be a search location.......and these 2 areas are governed by Aust.
