Malaysia Approves New Search for MH370 Using Advanced Technology

Ocean Infinity will lead the renewed effort under a $70 million 'no find, no fee' agreement, targeting a refined area in the southern Indian Ocean.

The Malaysian government has formally approved a new search for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, which disappeared in 2014 with 239 people on board.
Ocean Infinity, a Texas-based marine robotics company, will conduct the search under a 'no find, no fee' agreement, receiving $70 million only if the wreckage is located.
The search will focus on a 15,000 square kilometer area in the southern Indian Ocean, identified using updated satellite and drift analysis.
Ocean Infinity previously conducted an unsuccessful search in 2018 but has since improved its technology and refined the search area.
The renewed search has brought hope and frustration among victims' families, some of whom have criticized the lack of direct communication from authorities.
