3) Passenger Manifest released at Beijing Airport in March 2014

The data below has been extracted from what appears to be an official list of passengers and crew who were on-board Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, based on the Advanced Passenger Information (API) received at the intended destination - the International Airport in Beijing. A copy of the full version, with acknowledgements, is referenced MH370 Passenger Manifest - Beijing Airport, and an extract is displayed below:-


Crew names from Beijing passenger manifest

Source: MH370 Passenger Manifest based on Advanced Passenger Information (API) released at Beijing Airport.

The table below contains the data transcribed from the Beijing version of the passenger manifest. Several changes have been made during the process of transcription from the API data:-

  1. Column 2 is the passport number, which is not relevant here, and has not been transcribed.
  2. Column 6 contains either a 1 or 2 which correlates with a code for gender where 1 = male and 2 = female.
  3. Column 7 is Date of Birth in Year/Month/Day format. For ease of reading this has been transcribed in the format YYYY/MM/DD.
  4. The order of first and last names for Patrick Gomes has been changed to be consistent with the Malaysia Airlines Flight Manifests.

Additional Columns

  1. The numbers 1 and 2 have been converted to male and female gender in an additional column.
  2. Using the date of birth provided here, each person's age in years has been calculated as it would have been on Saturday, 8 March 2014 and placed in an additional column headed Actual Age.

4) Malaysia Airlines 3rd Media Statement, 10am Saturday, 8 March 2014

The identity of the Flight Crew of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 was made public by Malaysia Airlines in their third media statement released on Saturday, 8 March 2014. An extract follows:-

The flight was piloted by Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, a Malaysian aged 53. He has a total flying hours of 18,365 hours. He joined Malaysia Airlines in 1981.

First officer, Fariq Ab.Hamid, a Malaysian, is aged 27. He has a total flying hours of 2,763 hours. He joined Malaysia Airlines in 2007.

Data Matching

Flight Crew

The identity of the Pilot-in-Command of MH370, Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, and the First Officer, Fariq Ab.Hamid, as confirmed by media statements, is now well known.

However, note that the age of both Captain Shah and First Officer Hamid as reported is different from their age as calculated from the Advanced Passenger Information data using their birth dates. It would seem that each person's age was determined simply by the difference between their year of birth and 2014. So, assuming that the Advanced Passenger Information data is correct, Captain Shah, for example would have been only 52 when flight MH370 went missing, but in his 53rd year.

Cabin Crew

Most of the Cabin Crew names and roles can be matched using a combination of two data items - gender and age. In the tables below the names and roles have been sorted by gender then age.

Comparing the two sets of information shows that all of the male crew can be matched to a role, but only two of the female crew can be matched to their roles on MH370.

Leading Stewardess and Flight Stewardess 1

The remaining data match involves determining whether NG YAR CHIEN or TAN SER KUIN was the Leading Stewardess.

Following the loss of flight MH370 many media outlets published profiles of the crew and passengers on-board. However, none of the major stories distinguished between the roles of Leading Stewardess and Flight Stewardess. Most identified the Chief Stewardess as Goh Sock Lay and referred to the remaining female cabin crew with the terms stewardess or flight attendants.

There is, however, another source (no longer available on the Internet) which compiled data about each crew member as a table, shown below:-

MH370 Flight and Inflight Crew

Source: This table was retrieved as an image from a website known as MH370 Forum on April 14, 2016.

Given that the information in this table matches the data obtained from the official sources above; and the inclusion of the Staff No. field implies that the original information may have been sourced from Malaysia Airlines; it seems reasonable to accept that the data is valid. Based on that assumption it can be suggested, with reasonable certainty, that the role of Leading Stewardess was performed by TAN SER KUIN, and Flight Stewardess 1 was NG YAR CHIEN.
