Ocean Infinity to Resume Search for Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370

A marine robotics firm is resuming the search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 which went missing more than 10 years ago. Ocean Infinity, which operates underwater robotic vehicles and has a base in Southampton, took part in previous searches which ended in 2018. Malaysia’s transport minister Anthony Loke said the company has agreed in principle to searches in a new area in the southern Indian Ocean.

If it is successful in finding a substantive amount of wreckage, it will receive $70m (£56m), Mr. Loke told a news conference. MH370 vanished en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on 8 March 2014. The Boeing 777 aircraft was carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew. The aircraft’s disappearance has become one of the world’s greatest aviation mysteries. Some families have claimed there was an intentional cover-up, that the plane was crashed deliberately, potentially as part of a murder-suicide. But there has been no conclusive proof and Malaysian officials have been unable to determine the real cause.
