Malaysia Airlines (MAS) chief executive officer Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said the company has no plans of grounding any of its Boeing 777 fleet at this moment.
"We are very confident of the reliability of the fleet," he said of the long-range, twin engine jetliner which is reputed to be one of the world's most popular and safest aircraft.
He also confirmed that the missing Boeing 777-200 MH370 was previously involved in an incident where a meter of its wing tip was torn during a collision with another jet on the ground.
Boeing repaired the jet and was certified safe to fly.
The aircraft last underwent maintenance on February 23 and no issues were identified during the routine check.
Ahmad Jauhari also said MAS did not receive any ‘threats’ in the past few months, when asked by reporters at a press conference.
