Malaysia Airlines chief executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya has said he will decide later whether to resign over the disappearance of MH370.
"This is a time of extraordinary emotions," Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said.
Malaysian Airlines held a news conference in Kuala Lumpur to say it was supporting the relatives of all those on board amid criticism of its handling of the crisis.
But it came as dozens of angry relatives of Chinese passengers clashed with police at Malaysia's embassy in Beijing.
Cyclone Gillian is hampering the search efforts "Return our relatives," around 200 family members cried at the gates.
Scuffles broke out as uniformed security personnel attempted to block some of the relatives from reaching reporters, who were being kept in a designated area.
The protest came as the air and sea search for debris from the plane, which disappeared on March 8, was suspended due to bad weather and rough seas.
Chinese Air Force crew returned to the base after the search was suspended The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) said the hunt had to be called off for the day due to gale force winds, rain and big waves.
"AMSA has undertaken a risk assessment and determined that the current weather conditions would make any air and sea search activities hazardous and pose a risk to crew," it said.
"Therefore, AMSA has suspended all sea and air search operations for today due to these weather conditions."
HMAS Success has left the search area due to rough seas AMSA said the weather is expected to improve in the evening local time.
The Australian navy ship HMAS Success, which tried to find debris seen by a plane and satellite, has headed south of the search area to get out of the rough seas.
Malaysia's Prime Minister Najib Razak earlier announced that after 17 days investigators were convinced the plane, with 239 people on board, went off course and crashed into the southern Indian Ocean.
Families had been waiting since March 8 for news He said satellite data provided by UK company Inmarsat showed MH370's last recorded position was in the middle of the ocean west of Perth, Australia.
Several satellite images of potential debris in that area had been picked up ahead of the announcement, with French, Australian, American and Chinese authorities all capturing images of possible debris.
Malaysia's PM Najib Razak announced that the plane crashed Hopes had been high that wreckage would be found after two new objects - a green circular item and an orange rectangular one - were spotted by an Australian military plane on Monday.
This followed larger "white and square" objects seen by a Chinese plane.
Distraught relatives at a Beijing hotel The search is a race against time as the battery life of the locator beacon in the black boxes may run out in the next two weeks.
The US military has sent a black box locator and a robotic underwater vehicle to help the hunt.
The mystery of why the plane, which was on its way to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur, veered so far off course remains unsolved ahead of a press conference on Wednesday, when more details will be revealed.
Malaysia's police chief, Inspector General Khalid Abu Bakar, earlier reiterated that all the passengers had been cleared of suspicion.
But he said the pilots and crew were still being investigated.
He would not comment on whether officials had recovered the files that were deleted a month earlier from the home flight simulator of the chief pilot.
