First of all, my thoughts are with the families and close friends of the loved ones lost in this horrific incident.
SQ really have not handled themelves at all well in the media it seems, firstly jumping to their own defence to say they don't use this path (well if that's the case, they use one very similar for many european destinations - I distinctly remember being over that exact area on an SQ flight to and from LHR earlier this month) before having any type of message of sadness.
I've spent most of the day checking flightradar24 in regards to operaters who use this area heavily, mainly MH, SQ and TG. Regretably SQ seem to be the carrier still flying closest to this area. Understandly MH are operating similar routes much much further to the south, and TG heading much further north through Russia and up to the north of Poland before dropping into mainland Europe.
Like I say if SQ haven't been using this path where the MH plane was shot down, they have been travelling on something awfully close to that.
