The reports on MH370, released on the second anniversary since the plane went missing, identified eight areas under review by the Malaysian International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Annex 13 Safety Investigation Team for MH370 including flight crew profile.
The report highly anticipated drew criticism because it failed to address key questions relating to radar anomalies and analysis of the flaperon.
