New Search for MH370 Begins Ten Years After Disappeared Flight

kuala lumpur - The Malaysian government has approved a new search for Malaysia Airlines plane that disappeared over a decade ago. The search will focus on a new location in the southern Indian Ocean.

The Malaysian government has agreed to a new search for the Malaysia Airlines plane that vanished more than ten years ago. The proposal by the American company Ocean Infinity to search in a new location in the southern Indian Ocean has been approved, said Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke on Friday.

Flight MH370 is one of the world's largest aviation mysteries. The Boeing 777 with 239 people on board disappeared from radar in March 2014 during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

What went wrong has never been clear. The wreckage has never been found, although aircraft debris has washed ashore in Africa and on islands in the Indian Ocean.

Ocean Infinity also searched the seabed for remnants of the missing plane in 2018. That was the last search attempt. If the company is successful this time, it will receive 70 million dollars (67.5 million euros) from the Malaysian government.
