Malaysia has agreed to a proposal to resume the search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, which has been missing for 10 years. The announcement was made by the country’s Transport Minister, Anthony Loke, on Friday. Loke confirmed that the proposal, submitted by the US-based exploration company Ocean Infinity, was considered solid and warranted further attention. “The proposal for a search operation by Ocean Infinity is a solid one and deserves to be considered,” Loke told reporters.
The new search initiative brings renewed hope for answers regarding the mysterious disappearance of the flight in 2014, which vanished during its journey from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, which mysteriously vanished on March 8, 2014, remains one of the greatest aviation mysteries in history. The flight, en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, lost contact with air traffic control less than an hour after takeoff, with 239 passengers and crew on board. Despite extensive international search efforts, including scouring vast parts of the southern Indian Ocean, no conclusive evidence has been found to explain the plane’s disappearance.
For nearly a decade, the search for MH370 has been one of the most extensive and expensive in aviation history. In 2018, authorities suspended the official search after covering around 120,000 square kilometers, but the mystery has continued to captivate the world. Various theories have emerged, including mechanical failure, hijacking, or deliberate actions by those on board. However, the cause remains unknown.

- Malaysia has agreed to resume the search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, which has been missing for 10 years.
