Obviously Malaysian Airline is still unwilling to tell what they really know ( or they still don't have a clue what honest and timelycommunication is ). Why did they insist for more than 20 hours that the flight is "just without communication".
Asian culture.
These story with the 2 passports is another BIG mystery.
Both PAX ( pretend to be ) are European and the names are European.
So the Pax must look European!
Not necessarily. With thousands of immigrants over the decades hardly anyone looks european anymore. Or are you saying all europeans are white, blond and blue eyed? never been to manchester eh?
Did MH do a passport check and name verification at check-in /boarding ?
In my experience, in most of the world airlines dont check passports and name verify other than a formality. Plus, dont people change a bit from the day their passport pictures are taken?
The real question is why didnt two stolen passports get flagged. This indicates an extremely serious security flaw and perhaps it has been exploited before being blocked. Extremely scary thought.
Normally one-way tickets raise questions at security ( SSSS in the US , in Europe they are more discreet ), why not at MH ?
Outside your little cocoon of the US and EU (where a world also exists), this is a common case. Add the fact that a tourism driven country like Malaysia sees many backpackers/tourists with one way tickets or changing travel plans constantly.
In AMS the pax would have to do the Schengen Area immigration ( where stolen passports would definitely flag up ), did they never intend to continue beyond PEK ?
Good question.
For China Austrians and Italians do need a Visa for China, so they would not be able to "disappear" in Beijing. Why didn't they take the direct flight from KUL to AMS ?
As has been mentioned about a dozen times before, you dont need a visa if you are transiting thru China for upto 72 hours. Please stop beating a dead horse now.
Why they didnt take a direct flight? Amazing that you are accusing someone of a malicious act then asking logical questions about their actions? Are you serious?
Too many open questions, zero trust in MH communication
They arent forcing you to listen to them. In this age of information, the truth will come out, you are free to listen to another source.
