New Search for MH370 Begins in Indian Ocean 11 Years After Disappearance

Ocean Infinity deploys advanced underwater technology to explore four key areas off the coast of Australia as part of a renewed effort to locate the missing Malaysia Airlines flight.

The search is being led by Ocean Infinity, a British and U.S.-based marine robotics firm, using the state-of-the-art vessel Armada 7806 and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs).
The operation focuses on a 15,000 square kilometer area in the southern Indian Ocean, with four hotspots identified as potential crash sites based on updated satellite and radio signal data.
The Malaysian government has given preliminary approval for the search under a 'no find, no fee' agreement, offering $70 million if the wreckage is located, though contract details remain under negotiation.
This marks the latest attempt to solve one of aviation’s greatest mysteries, following earlier unsuccessful searches in 2018 and a multinational effort that ended in 2017.
Families of the 239 passengers and crew aboard the ill-fated flight, which vanished in 2014 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, continue to seek closure and answers about the plane’s disappearance.
