Ten years on, the disappearance of the Boeing 777 carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew members bound for Beijing remains unexplained and is one of the greatest mysteries in world aviation.
According to Transport Minister Anthony Loke, the proposal to relaunch the search in a new area in the southern Indian Ocean comes from exploration company Ocean Infinity, which also led the last search for the plane, which ended in 2018.
More than 150 Chinese passengers on board the plane
The company will receive $70 million if successful significant, Anthony Loke said at a news conference. “Our responsibility, our obligation and our commitment is to the relatives,” , he said. “We hope this time will be positive, that the wreckage will be found and the families will be able to move on.”
Initially, Malaysian investigators did not rule out the possibility that the plane was deliberately diverted. More than 150 Chinese passengers were on board the plane.
Their relatives have sought compensation from Malaysia Airlines, Boeing, aircraft engine maker Rolls-Royce and insurer Allianz, among others.
