GRMalaysia has extended its agreement with the ocean exploration company Ocean Infinity by one year to continue underwater searches for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, which disappeared in March 2014 during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. The Boeing 777 was carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew members when it vanished, becoming one of the greatest mysteries in global aviation history. Previous search operations in the southern Indian Ocean have been unsuccessful. Ocean Infinity conducted searches until 2018 and signed a new contract with Malaysia last year to resume efforts in a 15,000-square-kilometer area, with the company receiving $70 million if the aircraft wreckage is found. The extension runs from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2027, according to a statement by Malaysia’s Transport Minister Anthony Loke.
