The search for MH370 is back on, nearly 12 years after it vanished

"Malaysia's transport ministry said in a release on December 3 that it would resume the search for MH370 on December 30. This is nearly12 years after the Boeing 777 aircraft, carrying 239 people from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, went missing on March 8, 2014. It said Ocean Infinity, a US and UK-based marine robotics company that conducted the search in 2018, would take charge of this latest round of search efforts."

""Ocean Infinity has confirmed with the Government of Malaysia that it will recommence seabed search operations for a total of 55 days, to be conducted intermittently," the transport ministry release said. It said that the search would be carried out in a "targeted area assessed to have the highest probability of locating the aircraft." The targeted area lies in the southern Indian Ocean, the release said."

"This is not the first time the search has been restarted since the tragedy in March 2014. Following the plane's disappearance, search operations continued for over four years. Ocean Infinity led the search in 2018, but discontinued it after being unable to locate the aircraft. Last December, the Malaysian government promised to pay the company $70 million if it found the plane."

Malaysia will resume a targeted seabed search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 beginning December 30. The Boeing 777 vanished on March 8, 2014, while carrying 239 people from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Ocean Infinity, a US- and UK-based marine robotics company that led the 2018 search, will conduct the latest operations. Ocean Infinity will perform 55 days of intermittent seabed searches in a targeted area of the southern Indian Ocean assessed to have the highest probability of locating the aircraft. The Malaysian government previously offered a $70 million reward if the company found the plane. Searches after the disappearance continued for more than four years.
