Malaysia Approves New Search for Missing Flight MH370

The renewed effort will focus on a refined 15,000-square-kilometer area in the southern Indian Ocean, with Ocean Infinity conducting the search under a 'no find, no fee' agreement.

  • Malaysia's government has finalized a $70 million 'no find, no fee' contract with Ocean Infinity to search for the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.
  • The search will cover a 15,000-square-kilometer area in the southern Indian Ocean, identified using updated satellite and drift analysis.
  • Ocean Infinity has deployed a search vessel to the target zone and will utilize improved technology and refined data analysis since its previous unsuccessful search in 2018.
  • Flight MH370 disappeared in 2014 with 239 people on board, and only scattered debris linked to the aircraft has been found in the years since.
  • The Malaysian government aims to provide closure for the families of the passengers and crew while addressing one of aviation's most enduring mysteries.
