The enigma of the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014, remains unsolved. What caused the Boeing 777-200ER with 227 passengers and 12 crew to disappear is a matter of debate, with theories suggesting it was intentional and some believing it was due to supernatural forces. After more than 11 years since the plane went missing, the search will resume on December 30.
Ocean Infinity will conduct a 55-day search in phases in the Southern Indian Ocean, which is believed to be the plane's final location before it crashed. The search is being conducted under a service agreement between the Malaysian Government and Ocean Infinity signed on March 25. It is being done to provide closure and justice to the families of the victims.
Ocean Infinity has been involved in two previous searches but failed to find the plane. The contract signed is for 18 months with a search area of 15,000 square kilometers. They will only receive a payment of $70 million (~RM 289 million) if they successfully find the plane wreckage.
