An expert on the missing flight MH370 has claimed that he has the answer for the missing Malaysian Airline plane to save everyone "money and time".
Chief Engineer at Egyptair Ismail Hammad has insisted that he can help find the aircraft which has been the subject of numerous search missions for over a decade.
Hammad believes that the mysterious disappearance was down to a "hijacker", The Mirror reports.
He said: "If the hijacker was looking for the perfect crime that would remain a mystery for a hundred years, he would have to land on one of the abandoned airstrips or lakes in the maze of the Philippine archipelago, which consists of 7,641 islands.

“Such airstrips are spread out and end in the sea, lakes or swamps, and not fly in a straight line to fall into the waters off the city of Perth , in an area that can be predicted by calculating the rate of the fuel consumption."
The expert added: “Whatever the pilot’s experience he would not be able to fly easily and accurately in a straight line on such a long straight route, above an open area of water, at night for such long hours."
He argued that navigation from Malaysia to the south of the Indian ocean would cause the aircraft to drop just before Perth.
If the pilot knew the route well, they would not have needed a compass or GPS system at all. They could have navigated themselves, Hammad explained.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Hammad said that the autopilot computer would prove to be quite challenging to programme with just co-ordinates alone.
He continued: "Likewise, a pilot alone would not be able to continue flying a big aircraft like B777-200 for nine hours since take off till vanishing, including the three hours on average it takes to check the condition of the aircraft and its documentations before the taking off according to the aviation regulations."
As a result, the engineer urged search missions to narrow their exploration to the Malacca strait to the Perth coast after they had considered all the factors he had outlined.
The latest attempt to find the flight by marine robotics company Ocean Infinity has been suspended after it launched a renewed search with updated equipment.

Malaysia's transport minister Anthony Loke recently told AFP: "They have stopped the operation for the time being, they will resume the search at the end of this year.
"Right now, it's not the season."
The Boeing 777 with 12 crew and 227 passengers went missing in March 2014 while travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
For over a decade, the flight has proved to be one of the greatest aviation mysteries in history.
