BEIJING: Relatives of Chinese passengers of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, which went missing 12 years ago in one of aviation’s greatest enduring mysteries, showed up at a Beijing court on Tuesday to demand answers.

The court began hearing their appeal against an earlier ruling to order compensation, which the families say disregarded crucial questions.

The Boeing 777 carrying 239 people, two-thirds of them Chinese, vanished from radar screens on March 8, 2014, while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

Despite multiple searches, including the largest in aviation history, the aircraft, passengers or black boxes have never been found.
