Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 was operated by a Boeing 777-2H6ER with serial number 24820, registration 9M-MRO. This was the 404th Boeing 777 produced. The aircraft performed its first flight on 14 May 2002 and it was delivered new to Malaysia Airlines on 31 May 2002. It was powered by two Rolls Royce Trent 892 engines and it was configured to carry 282 pasegers. At the time of the disappearance the airframe accumulated 53,471.6 hours and 7526 cycles having no major incidents in its 12 year career at Malaysian Airlines. There was one minor incident while taxiing at Shanghai Pudong International Airport in August 2012 which resulted in a broken wingtip. The last maintenance check (A check) was carried out on 23 February 2014. It was in compliance with all applicable Airworthiness Directives for the airframe and engines. Just before the flight, on 7 March 2014 a replenishment of the crew oxygen systems took place. This was a routine maintenance task and a subsequent examination of the procedure found nothing unusual. | |
