The Disappearance of Flight MH370
In the early hours of March 8, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing disappeared from radar screens just 40 minutes after takeoff. The aircraft was carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew members—a total of 239 people from 14 countries.
After deviating from its planned route, the plane changed course and, according to satellite data, continued flying south for several hours before vanishing over the Indian Ocean.
Previous large-scale searches conducted between 2014 and 2017, funded by Malaysia, Australia, and China, failed to locate the main wreckage.

New Hope: Partnership with Ocean Infinity
Ocean Infinity, known for its advanced autonomous underwater vehicles and cutting-edge seabed scanning technology, previously searched for MH370 in 2018 under the same “no cure, no pay” terms. That mission ended without success.
The upcoming 2025 expedition will focus on promising areas identified through the latest data analysis. Malaysia’s Transport Minister emphasized the government’s commitment to providing answers to the families of the victims and resolving one of modern aviation’s greatest mysteries.
“We owe it to the families of the passengers and crew to do everything possible to locate the plane and uncover the truth about what happened,” stated Anthony Loke.
The renewed MH370 search has been driven by persistent advocacy from the victims’ relatives, who have demanded continued efforts for years.
This new mission could represent the final opportunity to solve the enigma of the Malaysia Airlines flight’s disappearance.
Updates on the progress of the search operation are expected throughout 2025–2026.
