Malaysia announced the resumption of the search for the missing flight 11 years ago

Malaysia has announced the resumption of the deep-sea search for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 in 2014, which will begin on December 30. This was announced on December 3 by the country's Ministry of Transport.

"The search will be conducted in the target area assessed with the highest probability of detecting the aircraft, in accordance with the service agreement concluded between the government and Ocean Infinity on March 25," the New Starits Times (NST) newspaper quoted the text of the statement.

It is noted that the search work will last 55 days. The Malaysian authorities stressed that this decision reflects the Government's commitment to finding answers for the families of the victims of the tragedy.

In February of this year, Ocean Infinity has already resumed the search for the missing flight MH370. The Armada vessel was supposed to take part in them. At that time, it was clarified that Ocean Infinity had entered into an agreement with the Malaysian government on the principle of "no finds— no fee."

The plane carrying out flight MH370 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing disappeared over the Indian Ocean on March 8, 2014. There were 239 people on board the ship. Fragments of the liner were subsequently discovered off the coast of Madagascar, as well as in Mozambique, but the bulk of them, as well as the crash site, could not be found. In addition, it was not possible to establish the exact cause of the disaster.

Later, on July 30, 2018, the final report was published, which stated that during the search and rescue operation, specialists made a number of mistakes that need to be taken into account in the future.

Aviation expert Tim Termini suggested in July 2019 that the plane could probably have been hijacked. The attacker could be one of the passengers or crew. In addition, the specialist admitted that the plane crash could have been provoked by ground services. However, the main version is that the actions of the pilot led to the crash of the airliner. In February 2020, former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott suggested that the flight could have gone missing due to the suicide of the pilot.
