The three flight crew members were not injured and the airplane sustained no damage. The flight originated from the Nurnberg Airport, near Nurnberg, Germany. The Malaysian Ministry of Transport and the French Bureau d'Enquetes et d'Analyses pour la Securite de l'Aviation Civile (BEA) have agreed to have the BEA investigate the incident and produce the final report.
