MH370 kin concerned search for jet about to end, seek extension

Kuala Lumpur

AN international network of MH370 next-of-kin said on Monday that it was "gravely concerned" that the search for the missing jet could end by August, calling instead for it to be extended and expanded.

The grouping, Voice370, appealed to countries involved in the expensive operation, aircraft manufacturer Boeing and the International Civil Aviation Organisation to commit resources to continue the search in the southern Indian Ocean.
