Malaysia is considering restarting the search for MH370, the plane that disappeared more than 10 years ago, citing a "credible" proposal suggesting a new search area in the southern Indian Ocean.
The Straits Times reported that Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke confirmed on November 5 that Kuala Lumpur is in discussions with the private marine exploration company Ocean Infinity (USA) regarding a proposal the company made in June to reopen the search for MH370.
Accordingly, the company proposed that the government would not lose money if the operation ended without finding the wreckage of the plane.
People left messages of remembrance for the victims of flight MH370.
"Based on the latest information and analysis from experts and researchers, Ocean Infinity's search proposal is credible and could be considered by the Malaysian government as the official entity for the search operation," Loke told the Malaysian parliament on November 5. The Malaysian minister added that Ocean Infinity is considering a fee of $70 million – similar to the cost of the 2018 search – if the aircraft wreckage is found.
Malaysia plans to unravel the mystery of flight MH370 based on a 6-second clue.
Malaysia, China, and Australia concluded their joint search for the wreckage of MH370, but yielded no significant findings. A subsequent search by Ocean Infinity also ended in 2018 without positive results.
An anonymous source told The Straits Times that the period from November to March is the best time to begin the search, as the seas in the southern hemisphere are calmer in the summer compared to the violent storms of winter.
Boeing 777 flight MH370, carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew members, disappeared on March 8, 2014, while en route from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing, China.
