Aviation chief resigns over MH370 failures

The chief of Malaysia’s civil aviation authority resigned yesterday after an investigation report on the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 showed lapses by the air traffic control centre in Kuala Lumpur.

Azharuddin Abdul Rahman said in his resignation statement that the report showed failures by air traffic control to comply with standard operating policies, but did not suggest the aviation authority was to blame for the disappearance four years ago.
