Malaysia Approves Renewed Search for Missing Flight MH370

A decade after the plane's disappearance, Ocean Infinity will lead a new search in the southern Indian Ocean under a 'no find, no fee' agreement.

  • Malaysia's government has finalized a $70 million 'no find, no fee' contract with Ocean Infinity to resume the search for MH370.
  • The search will focus on a refined 15,000-square-kilometer area in the southern Indian Ocean, identified through updated satellite and drift analysis.
  • Ocean Infinity has deployed advanced robotics and data analysis tools, with operations expected to span 18 months.
  • The Boeing 777, carrying 239 people, vanished in 2014, and previous multinational and private searches have failed to locate the wreckage.
  • The renewed effort has brought both hope and frustration for families of the missing passengers, who continue to seek closure.
