Malaysia Airlines Boss: Some Flight Paths Unsafe.

"Skies above certain territories are simply not safe," says the commercial director, who wants a new flight paths body

.

A Malaysia Airlines official has called for the creation of a new body to decide which flight paths are safe following the MH17 crash in Ukraine.

Hugh Dunleavy, the company's commercial director, said airlines could no longer rely on decisions made by existing industry bodies on which volatile regions are secure to fly over.

Despite flying over a conflict zone, MH17's flight path had been approved by the International Civil Aviation Organisation, the Ukrainian authorities and the European airspace service provider Eurocontrol, Mr Dunleavy said.

Flight MH17 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur is believed to have been brought down by a missile fired by pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine, killing all 298 people on board.
