Malaysia’s transport minister said on Friday that the search for the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, which mysteriously disappeared 10 years ago, will resume.
According to the foreign news agency Reuters, flight MH370 is a Boeing 777 aircraft with 227 passengers and 12 crew members. The aircraft departed from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014 and mysteriously disappeared. According to satellite data, the plane was last seen over the Indian Ocean west of Perth, Australia.
According to Reuters, Malaysia’s Transport Minister Anthony Loke said in a conference that an agreement has been reached with Ocean Infinity to resume the search for the missing plane and Ocean Infinity will receive $70 million if the wreckage is found.
More than 150 Chinese passengers were on board the flight, whose relatives have sought compensation from Malaysia Airlines and Boeing aircraft engine maker Rolls-Royce and Allianz Insurance Group.
The search for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 was one of the largest underwater operations in aviation history and involved countries such as Australia, Malaysia and China.
