The Malaysian government has approved a new search for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370. The plane disappeared more than ten years ago with 239 people on board. An American company called Ocean Infinity will carry out the search. It will start on December 30, 2025, and last for 55 days. They will look in a specific area of the southern Indian Ocean.
The flight vanished on March 8, 2014, while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. The first search, led by Australia, was very large and expensive. It stopped in 2017 without finding the plane. Ocean Infinity also searched in 2018 but did not succeed. Now, after getting new information, Malaysia has agreed to try again.
The company will use modern robots to search the ocean floor. The agreement is "no-find, no-fee." This means Ocean Infinity will only get paid if they find the plane. Reports say the fee could be $70 million. This plan reduces the financial risk for Malaysia.
For the families of the passengers and crew, this news brings new hope. Many relatives have waited a long time for answers. One family member said the new search is a comfort and they hope it will finally bring peace.
The search area in the southern Indian Ocean is very deep and has difficult weather. Finding the plane will be hard. But this new effort shows that the world still wants to solve this mystery. We will know in the coming months if this search is successful.
