Search for Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 to Resume After 10 Years

As a dedicated follower who has been closely tracking this heart-wrenching mystery for over seven years now, I can’t help but feel a renewed sense of hope and anticipation at the prospect of the search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 resuming. The fact that Anthony Loke, the Malaysian Transport Minister, is leading this effort speaks volumes about the unwavering commitment to the families affected by this tragedy.

The pursuit for Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 will persist even a full decade beyond its disappearance.

As an ardent follower of aviation history, I can’t help but express my excitement over the recent announcement by Malaysia’s Transport Minister, Anthony Loke, on December 20. He revealed that the Malaysian government has agreed, in principle, to continue the search for the wreckage of the missing flight MH370. This Boeing 777 disappeared en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014, carrying a total of 227 passengers and 12 dedicated crew members. The continuation of this search brings hope to all those who have been eagerly waiting for answers regarding this tragic event.

In a press conference, as reported by CNN, Loke stated, “Our duty, our pledge, is to the family members who are closest to us. We pray that this period brings them positivity, and we hope that the search for the wreckage will bring them closure.

A new search, this time focusing on an unexplored region of the south Indian Ocean, will be led by the marine exploration company Ocean Infinity, based in Texas. They were previously responsible for the investigation into the missing aircraft’s wreckage in 2018.

The transportation minister clarified that the Malaysian administration and the company are yet to fully iron out their deal. This arrangement, commonly known as a “finders-keepers” or “contingency fee” contract, means the company will only receive $70 million if they successfully locate substantial remnants of the wreckage.

Nine months following hints from officials that they might restart the search, the announcement was made, as Ocean Infinity had proposed resuming it.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: “In line with our stance, I can confirm that we, the Malaysian government, will initiate another search mission once we have reliable and substantiated information at hand.

Oliver Plunkett, the head honcho at the company, shared some enlightening thoughts about their intention to keep looking for oceanic debris, a project that had been on hold for six years.

Ever since we departed from the southern Indian Ocean in 2018, the search for MH370 and bringing closure to those affected has remained a persistent thought. Since that time, our efforts have been directed towards enhancing sea operations; we’ve also been working on incorporating advanced technology and robotics to boost our ocean exploration capabilities.

Plunkett emphasized that this investigation is not only difficult but also crucial, as it’s one of the toughest and relevant ones currently being conducted. We’ve collaborated with numerous specialists, some who aren’t part of Ocean Infinity, to scrutinize the data relentlessly. Our aim is to pinpoint a search area where success could realistically be attained.

Based on CNN’s report, fragments that are both confirmed and suspected to originate from the lost aircraft have been found on African shores and islands within the Indian Ocean.
