Malaysia has agreed in principle to resume the search for the wreckage of missing Malaysia Airlines flight 370, more than 10 years after it disappeared in one of the world’s greatest aviation mysteries. The Boeing 777 carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew vanished en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke announced that the proposal to search a new area in the southern Indian Ocean came from exploration firm Ocean Infinity, which had conducted the last search for the plane that ended in 2018. The firm stands to receive $70 million if substantive wreckage is found.
