New search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 approved
After more than a decade since the mysterious disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, the Malaysian government has given final approval for a Texas-based company to resume the search for the missing airplane. Ocean Infinity, the company tasked with the search operation, has agreed to a “no-find, no fee” contract, meaning they will only be paid $70 million if wreckage from the plane is discovered.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke stated that the government is committed to providing closure for the families of the passengers of flight MH370. The Boeing 777 took off from Kuala Lumpur on March 8, 2014, bound for Beijing, but disappeared shortly after leaving Malaysian airspace with all 239 passengers on board. Satellite data indicated that the plane deviated from its flight path and headed south towards the far-southern Indian Ocean, where it is believed to have crashed.
Despite extensive multinational search efforts, no significant clues to the location of MH370 were found. Debris washed ashore on the east African coast and Indian Ocean islands, but the main wreckage remains elusive. A private search conducted by Ocean Infinity in 2018 also yielded no results, although the company claims to have improved its technology since then.
Ocean Infinity has not provided any comments regarding the new search operation, but they previously expressed their goal to narrow down the search area to improve the chances of success. The search vessel has been deployed to the designated site, and January-April has been identified as the optimal period for the search to take place.
Voice370, a group representing the relatives of passengers from MH370, emphasized the importance of completing the search to prevent similar tragedies in the future. They highlighted the ongoing threat to global aviation safety as long as the fate of MH370 remains unknown.
As the search operation progresses, the hopes of uncovering the truth behind the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 are reignited. The families of the victims, aviation experts, and the global community eagerly await any breakthroughs that may finally provide answers to this enduring mystery.
