But officials and experts was quick to point out that there was no proof of foul play so far and there could be other explanations for the use of false identity documents. The two passengers bought their tickets through China Southern Airlines, which was code-sharing the flight with Malaysia Airlines. They were using the documents of an Italian and an Austrian who apparently had their passports stolen in Thailand during the past two years, and had made police reports about the theft.
