Twelve years after Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared, a renewed deep-sea search in the southern Indian Ocean has yielded no wreckage. The search, conducted by Ocean Infinity under a "no-find, no-fee" contract, surveyed thousands of square kilometers between March 2025 and January 2026. The Malaysian authorities confirmed the unsuccessful search, despite covering about 7,571 square kilometers of seabed. MH370 vanished on March 8, 2014, en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board. Families of the missing are urging the government to extend Ocean Infinity's contract and consider similar arrangements with other deep-sea exploration companies to continue the search.
