Malaysia Resumes Search for Missing MH370 After Seven Years
The government partners with Ocean Infinity to explore a 15,000 sq km area in the southern Indian Ocean under a 'no find, no fee' agreement.
- Malaysia has officially restarted the search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, which disappeared in 2014 with 239 people on board.
- The search will focus on a 15,000 sq km area in the southern Indian Ocean, leveraging advanced tracking technologies.
- Ocean Infinity, the exploration firm leading the effort, will receive $70 million only if the wreckage is located.
- This is the third search for MH370, following earlier failed efforts by Malaysia, Australia, and China, as well as Ocean Infinity in 2018.
- The renewed effort underscores the Malaysian government’s commitment to providing closure for the families of those lost.
