Search for doomed MH370 resumes |

Kuala Lumpur:

A fresh search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 has been launched more than a decade after the plane went missing in one of aviation’s greatest enduring mysteries.

Maritime exploration firm Ocean Infinity has resumed the hunt for the missing plane, Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke said on Tuesday.

Loke told reporters contract details between Malaysia and the firm were still being finalised but welcomed “the proactiveness of Ocean Infinity to deploy their ships” to begin the search for the plane, which went missing in March 2014.

Loke said details about how long the search would last had not been negotiated yet.

He also did not provide details about when exactly the British firm restarted its hunt.

The Malaysian government said in December it had agreed to launch a new search for MH370.

The Boeing 777 carrying 239 people disappeared from radar screens on March 8, 2014, while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing
