Malaysia has agreed to restart the search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, which vanished on March 8, 2014, with 239 people on board.

Axar.az, citing Reuters, reports that Transport Minister Anthony Loke announced the decision, emphasizing the need to provide closure for families.

The search will be led by Ocean Infinity, the firm that last attempted to locate the wreckage in 2018. Under a new 18-month contract, the company will be paid $70 million only if substantive wreckage is found. The new search will cover 15,000 sq km in the southern Indian Ocean, though the exact location remains undisclosed.

MH370 disappeared after deviating from its flight path, with debris later found along Africa’s coast and the Indian Ocean islands. A 2018 investigation suggested deliberate control manipulation but failed to determine responsibility. While Malaysia has assessed new credible data, Loke cautioned that there are no guarantees of finding the plane after a decade.
