Malaysia Approves New Search for Missing MH370 Flight

Ocean Infinity will lead the effort using advanced technology, with a $70 million reward if the plane is found.

  • Malaysia has agreed in principle to a new search for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, which disappeared in 2014 with 239 people on board.
  • The search will be conducted by Ocean Infinity, a U.S.-based deep-sea exploration company, and will focus on a 15,000 square kilometer area in the southern Indian Ocean.
  • The operation will be conducted on a 'no find, no fee' basis, with a $70 million payment only if the wreckage is located within an 18-month contract period.
  • Ocean Infinity plans to use advanced underwater drones and new tracking technologies to refine the search, building on data from previous efforts and updated ocean current models.
  • Families of the victims have expressed mixed emotions, including hope and gratitude, as they await potential closure after nearly 11 years of uncertainty.
