Malaysia has announced the resumption of its search operation for flight MH370, which vanished 11 years ago with 239 people on board. The Malaysian Airlines plane took off from Kuala Lumpur on March 8, 2014, bound for Beijing, China, but lost contact with air traffic control. The Malaysian transport ministry has partnered with Ocean Infinity to conduct a targeted search in a specific area with the highest probability of locating the aircraft. This renewed effort comes after previous searches, including a 55-day operation in 2025, failed to find any conclusive evidence. The search for MH370 has been a complex and multinational effort, involving ships and aircraft from around the world. Despite numerous sightings and debris discoveries, including a flaperon found on the French island of Réunion in 2015, the cause of the disappearance and the fate of the passengers remain unknown. Malaysia's decision to resume the search is motivated by a desire to provide closure to the families of those on board. The transport ministry has stated that the search will be carried out on a 'no find, no fee' basis, with Malaysia paying Ocean Infinity $70 million if substantive wreckage is found. The new search operation will focus on a specific area, assessed to have the highest probability of locating the aircraft. Authorities will also investigate the possibility of the plane being taken off course deliberately. The search is expected to last for 55 days, with the Malaysian government committed to providing closure to the families affected by this tragedy.
