| Summary | A theory that Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 flew to Kazakhstan or another Central Asian location, possibly as part of a hijacking or covert operation. Proponents suggest the plane could have landed in a remote desert area, avoiding radar detection. The theory is speculative and contradicted by official search efforts. |
| Origin | Emerged in March 2014 as part of the northern corridor search hypothesis, based on satellite data suggesting a possible northern route. |
| Claimed |
|
| Evidence / consensus | No evidence supports a landing in Kazakhstan. The official search concluded the plane crashed in the southern Indian Ocean, and no debris has been found in Central Asia. |
