Family members of the two New Zealanders on board Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 have been taken to Kuala Lumpur to wait for news of their loved ones.
Ned Wang, nephew of 50-year-old Ximin Wang, left Auckland with Mr Wang's wife on Sunday night and were joined by Mr Wang's daughter,who arrived from China.
"We offered to take the families to KL because that is where the search operations are being co-ordinated, and where they can get the latest news from our key team," said Dzulkefli Zakaria, Malaysia Airlines' New Zealand area manager.
He said several family members of both Mr Wang and 38-year-old Cantabrian father of two Paul Weeks had taken up the offer.
