Malaysia has agreed to resume the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, which vanished over a decade ago. The decision comes after years of uncertainty and multiple unsuccessful search attempts. The new search will be conducted under a "no find, no fee" agreement with the U.S. company Ocean Infinity, meaning they will only be paid if the aircraft's wreckage is discovered. The reward for finding the wreckage stands at $70 million, as reported by the Associated Press.The search is set to take place between January and April 2025, with the final terms and conditions expected to be finalized early in the year. This renewed effort is seen as a commitment to the families of the 239 passengers and crew members who disappeared on March 8, 2014, when the Boeing 777 flew from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.The disappearance of MH370 has been one of the most perplexing mysteries in modern aviation history. Despite extensive multinational searches involving 33 ships, 58 aircraft, and numerous countries, the plane was never found. The search was called off in 2017 without a clear explanation for the plane's disappearance.Investigators believe the aircraft likely crashed in the southern Indian Ocean. This theory is supported by flight simulations, satellite data, and debris that washed up on the coast of Africa. The new search aims to uncover the wreckage to finally determine the cause of the disaster, which has remained unknown for over a decade.
