Malaysia Airlines

Malaysia Airlines is the flag carrier airline of Malaysia. The airline is newsworthy due to the renewed search for flight MH370, which disappeared on March 8, 2014, en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 227 passengers and 12 crew members. After more than a decade, the Malaysian government has contracted Ocean Infinity, a Texas-based marine robotics company, to conduct a 55-day targeted deep-sea search in the southern Indian Ocean, commencing on December 30. Previous searches have been unsuccessful, making this renewed effort significant for the families of those on board and for resolving one of aviation's greatest mysteries. The families have urged the government to extend the contract with Ocean Infinity to ensure a thorough search. The search had begun in March but was suspended shortly after because of poor weather conditions. This latest search underscores Malaysia's commitment to providing answers regarding the fate of MH370.
