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.

              "wobble" is an appropriate word here.

Ridiculing what others suggest then posting old info and C&P yourself does not convince me that 'they' are being covert in deliberately hiding the truth and giving out misleading 'mixed up' information about both the sequence and details of events from the time flight MH370 took off until today.

If you're looking for ridicule ...try here......   they...are the little voices in your head paint and sew....don't listen to them.. and stick to the threads

Thanks John - just the information I was after. It's nice to be able to have an intelligent discussion on the subject occasionally.

And apologies, Colic, I only just noticed it was you who posted the tracking path diagram.

to Icy ref. handing over the pilot's home flight simulator to the FBI......rather convenient IMO-being that this is the ONLY evident evidence.....*gee, we have some really smart bunnies (Black Ops) running this show.

I'm not sure who or what  these 'youse' are of which you speak, or what their role in the search might be, but as far as I know, nobody has found it yet

I think what Paints is referring to is that with all your " how nice it is to have an intelligent conversation" and your graphs and maps and dopplers and satellite images :-

We're still no wiser as to the whereabouts of the plane!

We may not be any wiser, Icy - but at least we are better informed - or I am anyway..

 I didn''t ask John where the plane was, nor did I suggest I was looking for it myself;  I told him I was looking for technical information that might  indicate whether or not  the heading the plane was presumed to be on, acording to the itst radar contact, would have taken it within range of the OTHR at Jindalee.

He and Colic both provided the information I was looking for, with the explanation that although its presumed flight path would have taken it within range of Jindalee, the ionospheric conditions at nighttime would have made the the signal very difficult if not imposible to detect and also, the OTHR is set up to pick up objects coming towards it or goingaway  from it, not travelling past it.

To me that seems like a reasonably intelligent conversation.

I have no argument against that, She-el but the way other posters are dissed by inferring their comments are less than intelligent, indeed called nutty and other rude terms, is arrogance beyond belief!

Especially when all the technological information and "intelligent" discussion has not got anyone one iota closer to the planes whereabouts.
