I was going off a report I read yesterday(or the day before) that stated the plane carried enough fuel for 2300 mile trip.

However, with your info in hand I went back and looked up the distance from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, 2700 miles(2340 nautical miles). So it seems the report I read stating 2300 miles of fuel was probably inaccurate.

In other words, you may be right that the plane was carrying enough fuel to get to Somalia. And now I’m recalling the report that one of those that boarded looked like the soccer star, Mario Balotelli.

Obviously there’s probably much more the authorities know that they aren’t letting on to at this time.

Thanks for posting the link. Interesting in that, a fully loaded 777-200 could reach many unfriendly Islamo countries.
