The transport minister announced on Friday that the cabinet of Malaysia has approved a plan to begin a fresh search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, which vanished inexplicably ten years ago.
Despite the biggest search in aviation history, the Boeing 777 carrying 239 passengers has never been located since it vanished from radar screens on March 8, 2014, while traveling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
On December 13, the government “agreed in principle to accept the proposal from Ocean Infinity,” a U.S. and U.K.-based company, to continue the search “in a new area estimated at 15,000 square kilometers in the southern Indian Ocean,” according to Transport Minister Anthony Loke.
