Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 vanished from civilian radar screens less than an hour after take-off from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing with 239 people on board on March 8.
No confirmed sighting of the plane has been made since, but much debris has been found in remote waters off Australia which might be part of the missing plane.
Malaysian Airlines said on Monday it was now "beyond any reasonable doubt" that missing flight MH370 had been lost and there were no survivors.
"Malaysia Airlines have already spoken to the families of the passengers and crew to inform them of this development," said the prime minister.
"For them, the past few weeks have been heartbreaking; I know this news must be harder still.
"I urge the media to respect their privacy, and to allow them the space they need at this difficult time."
In a statement released to the media and shared with the family members of passengers and crew of the missing plane, Malaysian Airlines said "the ongoing multinational search operation will continue, as we seek answers to the questions which remain".
"Alongside the search for MH370, there is an intensive investigation, which we hope will also provide answers," it added.
Meanwhile Malaysia Airlines sent a text message to passengers' family members confirming their deaths before formally briefing them in Beijing and Kuala Lumpur today. Read below:
"Malaysia Airlines deeply regrets that we have to assume beyond any reasonable doubt that MH 370 has been lost and that none of those onboard survived. As you will hear in the next hour from Malaysia's Prime Minster we must now accept all evidence suggests the plane went down in the southern Indian Ocean."Quite awful and extremely insensitive.
