The Malaysian government has approved a last-ditch effort to find the remains of the MH370 flight, which disappeared after crashing into the ocean in 2014.
It’s been more than 10 years since the mystery of Malaysian Airlines Flight 370, which was travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing and carrying 239 people, including 227 passengers, six of which were Australian citizens plus one New Zealand resident who was based in Perth.

Less than an hour after takeoff, radars showed the plane vanished after it strayed from its original path and lost contact with the air traffic control team.
Several searches have been established for the missing plane over the years in conjunction with Australia, China, the US, the UK and several other countries; however, no findings were produced.

In 2018, marine biotics company Ocean Infinity launched two searches for the missing aircraft, but both were called off after a few months.
On Wednesday, the Malaysian government approved the terms and conditions for Ocean Infinity to conduct a final search for the missing aircraft in a new 15,000km stretch of the Southern Indian Ocean.
