AN ONGOING search by the Royal Thai Navy in Thai-Malaysian waters for the missing Malaysian Airlines flight might end soon if no progress is seen, a senior Navy commander said Tuesday.
However, the operation would resume if requested by Malaysian authorities, Vice Admiral Taratorn Kajitsuwan, chief of the Third Naval Area Command, said.
He explained that no additional vessels were needed as a close search had already been conducted in the area assigned to the Thai Navy – in the Andaman Sea from Langkawi Island to Pangkor Island off Perak State of Malaysia.
