Melbourne, Dec 29 : A flight attendant aboard the missing AirAsia flight QZ8501 had reportedly posted a series of tweets about the ill-fated Malaysia Airline flights MH370 and MH17 earlier this year.

According to News. com. au, Oscar Desano is listed as a flight attendant on board the AirAsia flight, which lost contact with air control between Indonesia and Singapore.

The plane bound to Singapore from Indonesia with 155 passengers and six crew aboard disappeared after losing contact with an Indonesian air traffic tower on Sunday.

The flight attendant had tweeted on Christmas saying "Merry Christmas to all my beautiful friends who celebrate it".

Soon after the MH17 downing, he wrote on his Twitter account on July 18 that he felt truly sorry for the loss of MH17 by Malaysia Airlines and offered his condolences to the passengers' family.

On March 8, following the disappearance of MH370, Desano wrote in his tweet "pray for Malaysia Airlines flight number MH370 Boeing 777-200 bound for Beijing, who have lost contact."
