Pesawat ini berangkat dari [[Bandar Udara Internasional Kuala Lumpur]] pada tanggal 8 Maret pukul 00:41 [[Waktu di Malaysia|waktu setempat]] (16:41 [[Coordinated Universal Time|UTC]], 7 Maret) dan dijadwalkan mendarat di [[Bandar Udara Internasional Ibu Kota Beijing]] pukul 06:30 [[Waktu di Tiongkok|waktu setempat]] (22:30 UTC, 7 Maret).

Belokan tajam ini dianggap dilakukan secara sengaja karena pesawat tersebut butuh 2 menit untuk berbelok seperti itu dan tidak ada panggilan darurat ketika hal ini terjadi.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/23/world/asia/malaysia-airlines-plane/index.html?hpt=hp_t1|date=23 Maret 2014|title=Source: Flight 370's altitude dropped after sharp turn|website=CNN News}}</ref>

''The Wall Street Journal'' kemudian mengubah laporannya dan menyatakan bahwa keyakinan bahwa pesawat tersebut masih terbang "didasarkan pada analisis sinyal yang dikirim oleh hubungan komunikasi satelit Boeing 777... hubungan yang dioperasikan dalam mode siaga (''standby'') dan berusaha membina kontak dengan sebuah satelit atau beberapa satelit.

=== Pembagian informasi ===
Meski Menteri Transportasi sementara Malaysia [[Hishammuddin Hussein]], yang juga merupakan Menteri Pertahanan Malaysia, membantah adanya masalah dengan negara-negara yang terlibat dalam pencarian, para akademisi mengatakan bahwa dikarenakan konflik regional, muncul masalah kepercayaan dalam kerja sama dan pembagian hasil intelijen dan hal ini menghambat proses pencarian.<ref name=20140314afp>Malakunas, Karl (AFP) [http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5i94kcoRRPI_OP3y3zBbidj85lCNg?docId=9a219434-81e2-4f7b-8d6e-ea4dea207ad6 "Distrust adding to Malaysian jet confusion: analysts"]. Google News. 14 March 2014.</ref><ref name=20140314guardian/> Pakar hubungan internasional mengatakan bahwa persaingan yang mengakar atas kedaulatan, keamanan, intelijen, dan kepentingan nasional membuat kerja sama multilateral yang bermakna sangat sulit diwujudkan.<ref name=20140314afp/><ref name=20140314guardian>{{cite web|author=Tania Branigan in Beijing |url=http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/mar/14/malaysia-flight-mh370-hunt-sees-suspicion-and-cooperation-china-us |title=Malaysia flight MH370 hunt sees suspicion and cooperation |work=The Guardian}}</ref> Seorang akademisi Tiongkok mengamati bahwa semua pihak mencari secara terpisah, jadi ini bukan upaya pencarian multilateral.<ref name=20140314guardian/>
Malaysia awalnya menolak merilis data mentah dari radar militernya karena menganggapnya "terlalu sensitif", namun akhirnya dirilis juga.<ref name=20140314afp/><ref name=20140314guardian/> Sejumlah pakar pertahanan mengatakan bahwa memberi negara lain akses ke informasi radar bisa bersifat sensitif di ranah militer. Misalnya, "tingkat pengambilan gambar mereka pada saat yang bersamaan mengungkapan seberapa bagus sistem radar mereka". Ada pihak yang menduga bahwa beberapa negara mungkin sudah punya data radar tentang pesawat tersebut dan enggan berbagi informasi yang mungkin dapat membocorkan kemampuan pertahanan mereka dan mengganggu keamanan mereka.<ref name=20140314afp/> Sama halnya, kapal selam yang berpatroli di Laut Tiongkok Selatan mungkin punya informasi seandainya terjadi tabrakan air, dan pembagian informasi ini dapat mengungkap lokasi kapal selam tersebut dan kemampuan pendengarannya. Akan tetapi, ''[[The Guardian]]'' mencatat bahwa pemberian izin Vietnam kepada pesawat Tiongkok untuk merambah ruang udaranya merupakan tanda kerja sama yang positif.<ref name=20140314guardian/>

== Kritik dan tanggapan ==
Komunikasi publik yang dilakukan oleh pejabat Malaysia seputar hilangnya pesawat awalnya dipenuhi kontradiksi.
* Kepala eksekutif Malaysia Airlines, Ahmad Jauhari Yahya, awalnya mengatakan bahwa pengawas lalu lintas udara (ATC) terlibat kontak dengan pesawat dua jam setelah lepas landas, padahal pesawat hilang kontak dengan ATC kurang dari satu jam setelah lepas landas.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/mar/14/flight-mh370-false-leads-confusion-hunt-missing-plane |title=Flight MH370: a week of false leads and confusion in hunt for missing plane |author=Hodal,Kate |work=The Guardian |date=14 March 2014|publisher= Guardian News and Media Limited |accessdate=25 March 2014}}</ref>
* Otoritas Malaysia awalnya melaporkan bahwa empat penumpang menggunakan paspor curian untuk menaiki pesawat.

* Malaysia secara terburu-buru memperluas wilayah pencarian ke barat pada tanggal 9 Maret, dan baru pada hari itu mengungkapkan bahwa radar militer mendeteksi pesawat berbelok ke barat.<ref name=20140314smhconfusion/> Hal ini kemudian dibantah oleh Rodzali Daud.<ref name="20140312StraitsTimes"/>
* Otoritas Malaysia mengunjungi rumah pilot Zaharie dan kopilot Fariq pada tanggal 15 Maret. Mereka menyita sebuah simulator penerbangan milik Zaharie. Kepala kepolisian Malaysia, Khalid Abu Bakar, mengatakan bahwa ini adalah kunjungan pertama polisi ke rumah tersebut. Tanggal 17 Maret, pemerintah membantahnya dengan mengatakan bahwa polisi pertama kali mengunjungi rumah pilot dan kopilot sehari setelah pesawat dinyatakan hilang,<ref>[http://www.3news.co.nz/MH370-Further-confusion-over-timing-of-last-words/tabid/417/articleID/336342/Default.aspx "MH370: Further confusion over timing of last words"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140409021143/http://www.3news.co.nz/MH370-Further-confusion-over-timing-of-last-words/tabid/417/articleID/336342/Default.aspx |date=2014-04-09 }} TV3 (New Zealand). 18 March 2014</ref> meski ini sudah dibantah sebelumnya.<ref>{{cite web|last=Jamieson |first=Alastair |url=http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/missing-jet/officials-deny-engine-data-report-missing-mh370-n51576 |title=Officials Deny Engine Data Report From Missing MH370 |publisher=NBC News |date=13 March 2014}}</ref>
* Tanggal 16 Maret, Menteri Transportasi sementara Malaysia membantah pernyataan Perdana Menteri seputar waktu data dan komunikasi terakhir yang diterima. Najib Razak mengatakan bahwa sistem ACARS dimatikan pukul 01:07, sedangkan Hishammuddin mengatakan bahwa transmisi ACARS terakhir diterima pukul 01:07, dan transmisi yang dijadwalkan pukul 01:37 tidak pernah terkirim.<ref>Calder, Simon; Withnall, Adam (17 March 2014).

Kritik juga diarahkan pada penundaan upaya pencarian. Sebuah laporan di ''The Wall Street Journal'' menulis bahwa perusahaan satelit Britania Raya, [[Inmarsat]], telah menyediakan data kepada pihak berwenang sejak 11 Maret, tiga hari setelah pesawat hilang, artinya pesawat tersebut memang tidak berada di Teluk Thailand dan Laut Tiongkok Selatan yang waktu itu sedang disisir, dan mungkin mengalihkan penerbangannya melalui koridor selatan dan utara.
