Renewed Search for MH370 Begins in Indian Ocean After 11 Years
Specialist firm Ocean Infinity is deploying advanced underwater technology to explore a new 15,000-square-kilometer area off the Australian coast.
- The new search for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, missing since 2014, focuses on a region 1,500 kilometers off Perth, Australia.
- Ocean Infinity, a British-American company, is using autonomous underwater vehicles and a deep-sea vessel to scan the ocean floor for the Boeing 777.
- The search covers four identified 'hotspots' based on updated satellite data, drift analysis, and other research findings.
- The mission operates under a 'no find, no fee' agreement with Malaysia, meaning Ocean Infinity will be paid only if the aircraft is located.
- Previous searches in 2017 and 2018 failed to locate the wreckage, but advancements in technology and new data have renewed hopes of solving the aviation mystery.
