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.
“I feel that we did not make a mistake. The Notice to Airmen (Notam) was published with a restriction of 22,000 feet and we requested to fly at 35,000 feet, and air traffic control told us to fly at 33,000,” said Capt Izham.
