Malaysia Resumes Search for MH370 Eleven Years After Disappearance
The renewed effort, led by Ocean Infinity, aims to explore a 15,000-square-kilometer area in the southern Indian Ocean to solve one of aviation's greatest mysteries.
- Malaysia has authorized Ocean Infinity, a U.S.-based maritime exploration company, to resume the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
- The Boeing 777 disappeared on March 8, 2014, with 239 people on board during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, leaving behind one of aviation's most enduring mysteries.
- The new search will focus on a 15,000-square-kilometer area in the southern Indian Ocean, identified as a credible zone based on updated data analysis.
- Ocean Infinity will use advanced autonomous underwater vehicles and robotics, with payment contingent upon the discovery of the aircraft wreckage.
- Previous search efforts, including those conducted by Ocean Infinity in 2018 and earlier multinational operations, have failed to locate the plane despite covering over 120,000 square kilometers.
