Missing plane

A plane and helicopter are looking for the missing aircraft but Russia's emergency situations ministry said that the search was being "complicated by poor visibility" caused by fog and low clouds.

Agencies reported that the Antonov-26 belonging to Kamchatka Aviation Enterprise lost contact amid difficult conditions.

There are expected to be no survivors among the 65 passengers and crew aboard the flight that went down in the Zagros Mountains.

The search lasted three and a half years and was the most expensive in history.

The Boeing 777 is thought to have crashed on March 8, 2014, with 239 people on board.

The families of the MH370 victims have long pushed for the search for the missing plane to be extended, but whether Friday's news will change anything for them remains unclear.

More than a year into the search, wreckage from a ship is discovered at the bottom of the Indian Ocean.

A year on from the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, an extraordinary amount of key data remains unknown.

Hope to recover the plane has quickly disappeared as the search continues

The flight, traveling from Surabaya, Indonesia, to Singapore, has been missing for just over 24 hours.

The AirAsia group has not had a crash since its Malaysian operations began in 2002.

The plane requested to take an unusual path due to weather before contact was lost.
