Source / event date:

AFP reported that a Beijing court began hearing an appeal on 28 July 2026 brought by relatives of MH370 passengers following the earlier compensation ruling.

The reporting describes two families appealing and relatives emphasizing their wish for the facts of the disappearance to be established, beyond the amount of compensation.

A hearing is not a final outcome

The hearing was closed to the press. This entry is based on AFP’s reporting, not a transcript or a judgment obtained by FindMH370.com.

No later outcome was verified in this site’s 17 October 2026 review. That is a limit of the review, not a claim that the case has had no further procedural developments.

Compensation proceedings and the aviation safety investigation address different questions. This report does not establish the cause of the disappearance or individual responsibility.
