SUBANG, March 11 — The Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) has denied any inconsistencies between its intelligence reports and that of the police regarding the missing Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight MH370.This comes after the Royal Malaysia Police refuted today DCA’s previous report that there were five individuals who had checked into MH370 but did not board the plane.

“Yes, I said that. But I also said that the case would be investigated further.

“What the police are now saying... is after further investigation,” DCA director-general Datuk Azharuddin Abdul Rahman told reporters here.

Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said this afternoon that every passenger booked on the missing Boeing B777-200 had boarded the flight.

Flight MH370 bound for Beijing and carrying 239 people disappeared roughly one hour into its flight in the early hours of Saturday.

Three days since it vanished, a multi-country search operation has yet to yield any result.
