The Boeing 777 was en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur on July 17, 2014, when it was shot down amid a conflict between pro-Russian rebels and Ukrainian forces.
All 298 passengers and crew perished, with wreckage and corpses scattered across farmlands and fields.
The suspects charged include three Russians and a Ukrainian.
Prosecutors say the missile launcher came from the 53rd Anti-Aircraft Missile Brigade, a unit of the Russian armed forces.
While the suspects aren't accused of firing the fatal missile, they worked together to get to the field where it was fired, and are charged with murder.
Grieving relatives of the dead have arrived at the Hague District Court in the Netherlands to witness the verdicts.
