Australia’s Immigration Minister Scott Morrison said his department was working with the airline and Beijing to facilitate visas. Relatives would be given tourist visas with the usual fees waived, he said.
Mr Najib’s announcement opens the way for what will be one of the most costly and difficult air crash Wreckage could hold keyinvestigations ever.Normally, an official investigation can only begin once a crash site has been identified. That would give Malaysia power to co-ordinate and sift evidence.
A government source told Reuters that Malaysia would lead the investigation, but hoped other countries, especially Australia, would play a major role.The United States said it was sending an undersea Navy drone to Australia, in addition to a high-tech black box detector, to help in the search.But the black box detector would not arrive in the search area until April 5, Mr Hishammuddin said, leaving only a few days to pick up locator beacons from the box that stop about a month after a crash due to limited battery life.
The so-called black boxes ― the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder ― record what happens during flight.
Mr Najib said Mr Inmarsat had performed further calculations on data gleaned from faint pings picked up by satellite that initially only narrowed the search area to two massive arcs.
Giving more details on the analysis on Tuesday, Mr Hishammuddin said it showed that at some time after 00.11pm GMT ― about six hours after its last sighting by Malaysian military radar on March 8 ― the aircraft was no longer able to communicate with the ground station.
