The UAE Armed Forces are using two Search & Rescue aircraft in the search operations, which cover a zone stretching south over the Indian Ocean to Australia and north over an area extending to the south and central Asia.
Meanwhile, the last words from the passenger jet were spoken by the co-pilot, the airline said on Monday, providing a new glimpse into the crucial period when the plane was deliberately diverted.
The last message from the cockpit - “All right, good night” - came around the time that two of the plane's crucial signalling systems were manually disabled.
