Malaysia Resumes MH370 Search in a renewed effort to uncover the truth behind Flight 370’s disappearance. The Malaysian government has approved a $70 million deal with US-based marine exploration firm Ocean Infinity to find the aircraft.
The flight, carrying 239 people, vanished on March 8, 2014, while traveling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Despite numerous searches, the wreckage has yet to be found. Investigators believe the plane crashed in the southern Indian Ocean, but the cause of the disappearance remains unclear.
Under the new deal, Ocean Infinity will search on a “no find, no fee” basis, meaning they will only receive payment if the wreckage is found. The search will cover a 15,000-square-kilometer area in the southern Indian Ocean.
Malaysia’s Transport Minister Anthony Loke expressed hope that the new search would be successful. He further stated that finding the wreckage would bring closure to the families of those on board.
The search for MH370 has been ongoing for nearly a decade, with multiple countries and organizations involved. The plane’s disappearance has been one of the greatest mysteries in aviation history.
In 2018, Ocean Infinity searched for MH370 but was unsuccessful. However, the company has improved its technology since then, and it is hopeful that this new search will be successful.
Malaysia’s resumed MH370 search is a significant development in the efforts to uncover the truth behind the disappearance of Flight 370. The search is expected to commence in 2025. It will be a step forward in the efforts to find the wreckage and bring closure to the families of those on board.
