Malaysia Resumes Search for MH370 After Decade

Malaysia's government has approved a new search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which disappeared in 2014, under a 'no-find, no-fee' contract with Texas-based Ocean Infinity. The operation will cover a 15,000-square-kilometer area in the southern Indian Ocean, and the company will receive $70 million only if wreckage is found. Transport Minister Anthony Loke emphasized the government's commitment to providing closure for the families of the 239 passengers. Previous searches, including a private effort by Ocean Infinity in 2018, failed to locate the aircraft, although some debris was found on the African coast. Ocean Infinity claims to have improved its technology since the last search and is collaborating with experts to focus on the most likely search area. A contract will be finalized soon, with the search expected to take place between January and April 2025.
