We deeply regret the incident in Kudat of flight MH 3002 on Thursday, October 10, 2013. The aircraft, with Registration Number DHC6 9M-MDM, departed from Kota Kinabalu to Kudat with 14 passengers and two technical crew onboard landed in the vicinity of Kudat Airport at 2.50pm.
Out of the 16 onboard, 15 were Malaysians and one Filipino national.
Regrettably there have been two fatalities (of which one is MASwings Co-Pilot) and two injuries.
The Captain piloting the flight was Captain Wan Mohd Abd Amir Wan Yahya, 56. He has over 4700 total flying hours.
Captain Wan Mohd joined MASwings in August 2011
We extend our deepest sympathies to the families and friends of the deceased and those involved in the accident, and we are doing everything we can to assist them in this extremely difficult time. We are assisting the passengers and families the best way we can.
A 24-hour Call Centre service has been activated. Families of passengers who were on-board may call 603-7884 1234 for further enquiries.
We have also set up our Go Team in Kudat to look after their needs and keep them as quickly informed as possible.
The investigation will be carried out by the authorities. Malaysia Airlines together with MASwings are fully co-operating and assisting the investigation in every possible way.
As per aircraft maintenance record, the Twin-Otter was fit to fly and was in good condition before the accident.
Malaysia Airlines and MASwings will continue to monitor the situation at the crash site and update on the situation and will provide information relating to the flight itself and updates on steps being taken.
Once again, we at Malaysia Airlines and MASwings express our deepest regret and extend our condolences to all affected parties.
I would like to reiterate once again that our utmost priority is to ensure complete well being of our passengers, crew and other affected parties.
