<h2>Flight MH370 Passenger Manifests</h2>
<p><u>Note</u>: For details about the information recorded by Malaysia Airlines for each passenger, see the section [[#PNR|Passenger Name Record]] below.</p>
<p>When Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 failed to arrive at Beijing International Airport on {{Day 001}} one of the first things that waiting family and friends wanted to know was 'who was on board flight MH370?'. Did the passenger they were expecting to meet actually board that flight?</p>

<p>A list of all the passengers who have boarded a commercial aircraft is called a <i>passenger manifest</i>. The requirement to create and keep a record of the passenger manifest for each flight is specified by the ICAO in Appendix 9 to the Convention on Civil Aviation. However, the information required to be recorded is minimal.</p> 

<p>Malaysia Airlines did not release a passenger manifest until the company had attempted to contact next-of-kin.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, friends and family of passengers on MH370 were waiting at the airport in Beijing. Everyone wanted to know why the flight was delayed, whether it had landed at an alternate airport, or had the aircraft crashed.</p>
<p>As an interim measure, a list of passengers was made available by officials in Beijing using data sent to the Beijing Capital International Airport by the airline after the aircraft had departed Kuala Lumpur.</p>
<p>The Menu links to five versions of passenger manifests for flight MH370.</p>
<ul class="ulNormal">
   <li>The version released in Beijing was compiled from an Advance Passenger Information system.</li>
<li>In Malaysia, passenger information was eventually released in a document called a Passenger Manifest.</li>
<li>Later, the official Passenger Manifest was released with additional data - the seat allocation for each person.</li>
<li>Both of the Passenger Manifests in Malaysia were released twice, so there are two versions of each document.</li>
<li>And none of these various documents is completely accurate. At least two of the passengers on MH370 were travelling on false (stolen) passports. Those names were never corrected. And many names were joined together or also contained titles, which is misleading.</li>
</ul>
