Renewed Hope As US Company Claims To Have New Evidence On Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370

The disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 is widely regarded as one of the greatest mysteries in the history of aviation.

Ten years on, many are yet to come to terms with the fact that a Boeing 777 with 239 people on board can vanish, without a trace.

What happened on March 8, 2014

The Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 took off from Kuala Lumpur and was on its way to Beijing on March 8, 2014, when it disappeared from the radars, somewhere between Malaysian and Cambodian airspace.

In the days, weeks, months, and years that followed, the world's most expensive search mission comprising experts from several countries was launched to look for the missing MH370 and to date, only some 20 pieces of wreckage, of which some are believed to be from the ill-fated flight have ever been found.

Malaysia may resume search for MH370

With the 10th anniversary of the mysterious disappearance of MH370, just days away, Malaysian authorities have hinted that they might renew the search for the missing flight.

Malaysian transport minister Anthony Loke on Sunday vowed to “do everything possible to solve this mystery once and for all.”

Ocean Infinity has announced a proposal for a new search in the southern Indian Ocean where the plane is believed to have crashed a decade ago. It has already submitted the proposal to the Malaysian government.

Ocean Infinity has proposed a “no-cure, no-fee” search – when the client is only required to pay for the services if the company secures a positive outcome.

No find, no fee: Ocean Infinity?

According to Loke Ocean Infinity had made a “credible” new search proposal.

“The Ministry of Transport are ready to invite Ocean Infinity to Malaysia to discuss the proposal of a no-find, no-fee proposal. We are waiting for Ocean Infinity to provide the suitable dates and I will meet them any time that they are ready to come to Malaysia,” Loke said.

It should be noted that Ocean Infinity has previously made two fruitless attempts at finding the plane.

“We now feel in a position to be able to return to the search for MH370, and have submitted a proposal to the Malaysian government," Ocean Infinity CEO Oliver Plunkett said.
