Malaysia Airlines Flygning MH370 saknas (2014-03-08)

Malay language daily Harian Metro today ran a report quoting Hadi as saying that the Malaysian police and Interpol are combing through the personal backgrounds of passengers and crew on the missing Boeing 777-200, especially a 35-year-old passenger of Uighur descent.

The Uighurs are a Turkic ethnic group primarily living in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region in China.

It was reported that the group that killed at least 29 people and wounding 143 with long knives and daggers, in the Kunming railway station on March 1, were allegedly Muslim separatist militants from the western region of Xinjiang, suspected to be of Uighur descent.

Harian Metro’s report also claimed that the police had searched the family homes of crew members, including the pilot and co-pilot of the plane, as terrorism and sabotage has not been ruled out as a reason behind the disappearance of the airliner.

Harian Metro had cited an unnamed source saying Malaysian police and Interpol are focusing their attention on the 35-year-old man because of the skills he possessed.

According to his curriculum vitae (CV) found online, he is a PhD holder and is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, at a Turkish university.

The Malay Mail Online is waiting for confirmation from the university to verify that that was his last position, prior to boarding the plane.

Besides extensive teaching and research experience in electronics, biomedical, and digital communications, the man had also spent slightly less than a year between 2004 and 2005 as a researcher at a training and simulation centre in Sweden.

Veer Savarkar Airport, commonly known as Port Blair Airport (IATA: IXZ,
ICAO: VOPB), is an airport located 2 km (1.2 mi) south of Port Blair and is
the main airport of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands of India.

It is named after the Indian freedom fighter Vinayak Damodar Savarkar.
It operates as a civil enclave, sharing airside facilities with INS Utkrosh
of the Indian Navy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veer_Savarkar_International_Airport

The only airport in the islands is Vir Savarkar Airport in Port Blair, which has
scheduled services to Kolkata and Chennai and Delhi, Banglore and Bhubaneswar.
The airport is under control of the Indian Navy. Only Daytime flying is allowed.

Due to the length of these routes and the small number of airlines
flying to the islands, fares have traditionally been relatively expensive,
although cheaper for locals than visitors. Fares are high during peak
seasons of spring and winter, but fares have been decreased over the
time due to large expansion of aviation industry in India.
