Malaysia Airlines Statement on Flight 17 B777-200 Aircraft
The B777-200 aircraft bearing registration No. 9M-MRD that operated MH17 on 17 July, 2014 had a clean maintenance record. The aircraft’s last maintenance check was on 11 July 2014.
The aircraft was manufactured in July 1997, and so [it] had 17 years in service.
The aircraft had recorded 75322 hours with a total of 11434 cycles.
All communication system[s] on the aircraft were functioning normally.
The U.S. agencies are divided over whether the missile was launched by the Russian military or by pro-Russia separatist rebels, who officials say lack the expertise on their own to bring down a commercial airline in midflight. Ukraine, which also has sophisticated antiaircraft weaponry, said it hadn't shot any such missiles at any time during the conflict.
"All roads lead to the Russians to some degree," said a U.S. official.
The White House late Thursday issued a statement harshly critical of Moscow, saying, "this incident occurred in the context of a crisis in Ukraine that is fueled by Russian support for the separatists, including through arms, material and training.
