CEO of Malaysia Airlines, Ahmad Jauhari Yahya has said that he was devastated that the passengers onboard the crashed MH370 didn't make it to their destinations alive.
Yahya said that the airline has extended its prayers to the families of the 239 passengers on board missing Flight MH370 after Prime Minister Najib Razak confirmed that the plane was lost into the Indian Ocean.
According to news.com.au, the CEO said that they don't know how this terrible tragedy happened, but as MAS family, they were all praying for passengers and crew of the Flight MH370.
Soon after the prime minister broke the news, families of the passengers on board criticised the government and the Malaysian Airline authorities and called them 'true murderers' for not disclosing facts on time and informing them about the crash through text messages.
Yahya said that all next of kin relatives had been paid 5000 dollars, adding that the Australian Government would only grant visas to relatives once evidence of the plane had been found, the report added.
The Flight MH370 disappeared on March 8th shortly after take off from Kuala Lumpur, carrying 239 people on board and since then there hasn't been any plausible evidence of what exactly happened to the plane.
