The Malaysian government has approved a new search for a Malaysia Airlines
plane that disappeared more than ten years ago. A proposal by the American
company Ocean Infinity to search at a new location in the southern Indian
Ocean has been approved, Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke said on
Friday.
 
Flight MH370 is one of the world's biggest aviation mysteries. The Boeing
777-200ER, with 239 people on board, disappeared from radar in March 2014
during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. What went wrong has never been
clear. The wreckage has never been found, although wreckage has washed up in
Africa and on islands in the Indian Ocean.
 
Ocean Infinity also searched the seabed for remains of the missing plane in
2018. That was the last search attempt. If the company is successful now, it
will receive 70 million dollars (67.5 million 
euros) from the Malaysian government.
