A fresh search for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 has commenced in the southern Indian Ocean, more than a decade after the aircraft’s disappearance. British marine exploration company Ocean Infinity has proactively launched the mission, even as discussions with the Malaysian government regarding a formal agreement continue.
According to AirLive, Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke has confirmed the search but has not disclosed how long it will last. The company operates under a “no find, no fee” arrangement, meaning payment is contingent on locating the wreckage.
MH370 vanished on 8 March 2014, while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board. Despite extensive search efforts, including a nearly three-year operation led by Australian authorities, the aircraft’s location remains unknown. The Sun reports that Ocean Infinity is utilizing advanced underwater drones and autonomous vehicles to comb new areas of the ocean floor in hopes of solving one of aviation’s greatest mysteries.
Additionally, AvioRadar has published an article titled “From history: MH370 – the greatest mystery of modern aviation”, which examines the incident and the theories surrounding the aircraft’s disappearance.
With renewed hope, this latest effort aims to bring closure to the families of those aboard MH370 finally.
