An investigation into the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 says the plane may have landed somewhere else.

Malaysian daily, New Strait Times, quoted sources on Wednesday close to the international probe team that the investigators are looking at the possibility that the missing jet did not crash into the Indian Ocean and landed safely at an unknown location.

“The thought of it landing somewhere else is not impossible, as we have not found a single debris that could be linked to MH370. However, the possibility of a specific country hiding the plane when more than 20 nations are searching for it, seems absurd,” the sources told the Malaysian newspaper.

It came as more than a dozen planes and ships are still looking for possible debris of the jet in the ocean.

Flight MH370 with 239 people on board was on its way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing when it suddenly disappeared from air traffic control radars on March 8.

Malaysian authorities have been under criticism, as the government said it would look into issuing death certificates for those onboard the plane, needed for their relatives to seek insurance payments, settle debts and other issues.
