Malaysia will release an interim report on its investigation into flight MH370 on March 7, a day before the first anniversary of the jet's mysterious disappearance, an official says.

However, deputy transport minister Abdul Aziz Kaprawi declined to comment on whether the report would contain any revelations on the fate of the Malaysia Airlines jet.

"It is a report by the investigation team. It will be a lengthy report of a few hundred pages," he said.

The report is being compiled and released by the Department of Civil Aviation and is required by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) one year after air accidents, he said.

MH370 vanished on March 8 last year with 239 passengers and crew aboard en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in what remains one of history's great aviation mysteries.
