MH17 crash: Flight path was deemed safe by ICAO, says MAS


PETALING JAYA: Malaysia Airlines (MAS) does not believe it made a mistake in continuing with the usual flight path over Ukraine because it had been deemed safe by the International Civil Aviation Authority (ICAO), said the airline's director of operations Capt Izham Ismail at a press conference, Saturday.
