Bold take: the search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 is set to restart after more than 11 years, reigniting a global mystery and new questions about what happened that fateful day. The Malaysian transport ministry announced that the operation would resume later this month, with a 50-day seabed search to be conducted beginning on December 30. The U.S. robotics firm Ocean Infinity has been enlisted to participate in the mission.
MH370, which disappeared on March 8, 2014, while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 12 Malaysian crew members and 227 passengers, vanished from air traffic control radar and sparked the largest and most perplexing search in aviation history. Despite extensive efforts, the plane’s fate remains unresolved, cementing its status as one of the industry’s greatest unsolved mysteries.
In 2024, Malaysian authorities indicated openness to reopening an investigation into the disappearance if compelling new evidence emerged.
A map illustrating the area where MH370 disappeared has been released to accompany coverage of the story.
