SEPANG: Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 deviated from its course by turning westwards only after the co-pilot had said “all right, good night” to Kuala Lumpur air traffic control, Department of Civil Aviation director-general Datuk Azharuddin Abdul Rahman said.

He said reports of the plane changing its course westwards before the cockpit’s last voice communication with ATC were “not correct”.
