The Malaysian Government has declared the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 as an accident, which is in one of the world’s biggest aviation mysteries.
Malaysia Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) director general Azharuddin Abdul Rahman said: "Both investigations are limited by the lack of physical evidence at this time, particularly the flight recorders.
"Therefore at this juncture there is no evidence to substantiate any speculations as to the cause of the accident.
"An interim statement detailing the progress of the safety investigation is expected to be released on or around the one year anniversary of the accident."
Azharuddin Abdul Rahman added that Malaysia Airlines is preparing to proceed with the compensation process to the next-of-kin of passengers.
On 8 March 2014, the Beijing bound MH370 disappeared off the radars over the Indian Ocean. The aircraft was carrying 239 passengers and crew onboard.
