Kuala Lumpur: Kuala Lumpur has set up a new International Investigating Team (IIT) that will cover all aspects of investigations into missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
The new team, which will evaluate and determine the causes that led to the disappearance of the Boeing 777-200ER twinjet, will likely rope in members from Asean with expertise and technologies in dealing with aircraft-related incidents and accident investigations.
Members of the IIT, which will be under three groups, will independently look at the aircraft's airworthiness and operational aspects, as well as the medical and human factors.
The findings will hopefully prevent a recurrence.
Experts in the groups will focus largely on the plane's maintenence, structures and record systems.
They will also examine the flight recorders and metereological factors as well as analyse the psychological, pathological and survival factors related to the flight, which had 239 people on board.
The cabinet, at its weekly meeting yesterday, deliberarated on matters surrounding MH370 at length and approved the establishment of the IIT.
Acting Transport Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said the team, whose members and terms of reference would be decided on soon, would make public their findings.
