After causing a flap last month - when he announced that his airline could readily obtain a 10-year old 777 for the bargain basement price of $10 million - Delta Air Lines CEO Richard Anderson has revealed that the source for his quoted price (far below the official market value of $56 million typically quoted for a used 777-200ER) was an offer from Boeing. Boeing officials have declined to respond to the report.

After 20 months of fruitless efforts, officials are focusing on a new area in the search for the remains of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370, which disappeared in what is believed to have been a suicide carried out by the airplane's pilot. The new area is centered around Penang Island, and is based on a theory that the pilot may have circled the island in descent before making a crash landing into the sea.
