NEED TO KNOW
The search for Malaysia Airlines flight 370 has officially resumed
The Boeing 777 was carrying 239 people when it vanished over the South China Sea on March 8, 2014
Multiple searches were conducted in the past, but the plane was never found
The search for Malaysia Airlines flight 370 has officially resumed.
The Boeing 777 was carrying 239 people when it vanished over the South China Sea on March 8, 2014, as it was en route from Malaysia's Kuala Lumpur International Airport to Beijing Capital International Airport in China.
On Tuesday, Dec. 30, a spokesperson for the U.S.-based marine exploration company
Ocean Infinity
said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE that the search for the wreckage has resumed, more than a decade after its disappearance.
"With the support of the Malaysian Government, we are resuming the search for the missing aircraft MH370," the spokesperson said. "Due to the important and sensitive nature of this search, formal communications will come through the Malaysian Government."
The company will use underwater vehicles, deep-sea drones and advanced scanning technology to search a 6,000-mile stretch of the Indian Ocean, according to
NBC News
.
The Malaysian transport ministry previously announced in a statement on Dec. 3 that Ocean Infinity would aid in
resuming the search
for the aircraft.
"Ocean Infinity has confirmed with the Government of Malaysia that it will recommence seabed search operations for a total of 55 days, to be conducted intermittently," the government agency said in a statement at the time. "The search will be carried out in targeted area assessed to have the highest probability of locating the aircraft, in accordance with the service agreement entered between the Government of Malaysia and Ocean Infinity on 25 March 2025."
MH370 took off at 12:41 a.m. local time on Saturday, March 8, 2014 — and the aircraft's last automated position report was sent at 1:07 a.m, according to
History.com
.
Malaysia airlines flight 370.
At 1:19 a.m., two minutes before the plane's transponder stopped transmitting, the last voice transmission from the cockpit was sent to air traffic controllers, stating, "Good night Malaysian three seven zero."
Military radar showed the plane turned west and then north to the Andaman Sea before it was last plotted by satellites above the Indian Ocean. The aircraft disappeared one hour before it was scheduled to land in China.
There were 227 passengers and 12 crew members from 14 different countries on board.
The pilot in command, 53-year-old Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah from Penang, joined Malaysia Airlines as a cadet pilot in 1981, while the co-pilot, 27-year-old First Officer Fariq Abdul Hamid, was completing his final training flight with Flight 370.
A search-and-rescue mission commenced shortly after MH370 disappeared. On March 24, 2014, Malaysia's prime minister announced the flight was seemingly lost in the Indian Ocean with no survivors.
Objects believed to belong to the missing plane reportedly have been found in the years following the crash, including a wing flap found in Tanzania in July 2016, a plane wing fragment found in Mauritius in May 2016 and a flaperon found in Reunion Island in July 2015, according to
CNN
.
However, the plane itself has never been located despite multiple searches.

"Our responsibility and obligation and commitment is to the next of kin," Transport Minister Anthony Loke said at a press conference, according to
Reuters
. "We hope this time will be positive, that the wreckage will be found and give closure to the families." |

### NEED TO KNOW
- The search for Malaysia Airlines flight 370 has officially resumed
- The Boeing 777 was carrying 239 people when it vanished over the South China Sea on March 8, 2014
- Multiple searches were conducted in the past, but the plane was never found
The search for Malaysia Airlines flight 370 has officially resumed.
The Boeing 777 was carrying 239 people when it vanished over the South China Sea on March 8, 2014, as it was en route from Malaysia's Kuala Lumpur International Airport to Beijing Capital International Airport in China.
On Tuesday, Dec. 30, a spokesperson for the U.S.-based marine exploration company [Ocean Infinity](https://oceaninfinity.com/) said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE that the search for the wreckage has resumed, more than a decade after its disappearance.
"With the support of the Malaysian Government, we are resuming the search for the missing aircraft MH370," the spokesperson said. "Due to the important and sensitive nature of this search, formal communications will come through the Malaysian Government."
The company will use underwater vehicles, deep-sea drones and advanced scanning technology to search a 6,000-mile stretch of the Indian Ocean, according to [NBC News](https://www.nbcnews.com/world/asia/mh370-search-missing-malaysia-airlines-flight-resumes-rcna251313).
The Malaysian transport ministry previously announced in a statement on Dec. 3 that Ocean Infinity would aid in [resuming the search](https://www.mot.gov.my/en/Kenyataan%20Media/Year%202025/MEDIA%20RELEASE%20RESUMPTION%20OF%20MH370%20SEARCH%20BY%20OCEAN%20INFINITY%20IN%20THE%20SOUTHERN%20INDIAN%20OCEAN.pdf) for the aircraft.
"Ocean Infinity has confirmed with the Government of Malaysia that it will recommence seabed search operations for a total of 55 days, to be conducted intermittently," the government agency said in a statement at the time. "The search will be carried out in targeted area assessed to have the highest probability of locating the aircraft, in accordance with the service agreement entered between the Government of Malaysia and Ocean Infinity on 25 March 2025."
MH370 took off at 12:41 a.m. local time on Saturday, March 8, 2014 — and the aircraft's last automated position report was sent at 1:07 a.m, according to [History.com](https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/march-8/malaysia-airlines-flight-vanishes-with-more-than-200-people-aboard).
Malaysia airlines flight 370.
At 1:19 a.m., two minutes before the plane's transponder stopped transmitting, the last voice transmission from the cockpit was sent to air traffic controllers, stating, "Good night Malaysian three seven zero."
Military radar showed the plane turned west and then north to the Andaman Sea before it was last plotted by satellites above the Indian Ocean. The aircraft disappeared one hour before it was scheduled to land in China.
There were 227 passengers and 12 crew members from 14 different countries on board.
The pilot in command, 53-year-old Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah from Penang, joined Malaysia Airlines as a cadet pilot in 1981, while the co-pilot, 27-year-old First Officer Fariq Abdul Hamid, was completing his final training flight with Flight 370.
A search-and-rescue mission commenced shortly after MH370 disappeared. On March 24, 2014, Malaysia's prime minister announced the flight was seemingly lost in the Indian Ocean with no survivors.
Objects believed to belong to the missing plane reportedly have been found in the years following the crash, including a wing flap found in Tanzania in July 2016, a plane wing fragment found in Mauritius in May 2016 and a flaperon found in Reunion Island in July 2015, according to [CNN](https://www.cnn.com/2017/03/08/asia/mh370-debris-found/index.html).
However, the plane itself has never been located despite multiple searches.

In December 2024, the Malaysian government [agreed to a \$70 million deal](https://people.com/malaysia-to-resume-search-for-flight-mh370-10-years-after-it-disappeared-8764889) with Ocean Infinity to resume the search for MH370. The company previously searched for the missing plane in 2018.
"Our responsibility and obligation and commitment is to the next of kin," Transport Minister Anthony Loke said at a press conference, according to [Reuters](https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/malaysia-says-it-will-resume-search-wreckage-missing-flight-mh370-2024-12-20/). "We hope this time will be positive, that the wreckage will be found and give closure to the families." |
