The Malaysian government has given final approval for a marine robotics company to renew the search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, which vanished more than a decade ago.

The missing aircraft, with 227 passengers and 12 crew members on board, is believed to have crashed in the southern Indian Ocean. It remains one of the biggest mysteries of modern-day aviation.
