In response to a request from the Ukrainian authorities, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau is deploying two of its investigators to Kiev to support an international investigation into the events surrounding the tragic crash of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17.

The investigators, with backgrounds in aircraft operations and aeronautical engineering, will form part of a concerted international effort to determine the cause of the crash of MH17.

The investigators are expected to arrive in Kiev on Tuesday 22 July.
