Was Malaysian jet flown to Pakistan by hijacker? Radar data shows MH370 flew towards Indian islands… and it may have had enough fuel to reach neighbouring country

Two sources have today said an unidentified aircraft was following a route between navigational waypoints (inset) when it was last plotted on military radar off Malaysia's north west coast. The last plot on the military radar's tracking suggested the plane was flying toward India's Andaman Islands (left), a chain of isles between the Andaman Sea and the Bay of Bengal, they said. Waypoints are geographic locations, worked
out by calculating longitude and latitude, that help pilots navigate along established air corridors. The search was today continuing nearly a week after it went missing (right). If the plane did carry on flying for five hours it could have travelled 2,200 nautical miles, possibly reaching north-western India and the border with Pakistan.
