MH17 crash: Singapore Airlines says sorry for social media posts


SINGAPORE: After getting a drubbing on social media for making statements deemed "insensitive" after the downing of Flight MH17, Singapore Airlines Ltd (SIA) issued a public apology on Saturday and expressed solidarity with families affected by the air tragedy. 

Hours after the Malaysia Airlines jetliner was shot down in eastern Ukraine on Thursday, killing 298 people, SIA's Facebook and Twitter updates said its own flights were not using Ukraine airspace.
