WASHINGTON - A US appeals court on Friday upheld a lower court decision to dismiss nationwide litigation over the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 in which victims' families sought to hold the carrier, its insurer Allianz and Boeing liable for the still-unexplained disaster.

Judge Neomi Rao, writing for the unanimous panel, said that while the court"has great sympathy for the victims of this tragedy and their families" she found no reason to reverse the decision. Jackson said the case belonged in Malaysia, which has an"overwhelming interest" in and"substantial nexus" to the March 8, 2014 disappearance of Flight MH370, a Boeing 777 heading to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur with 239 people on board.
