The search for the missing Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 has resumed once again

Source: NPR

Recently, Malaysia's Transport Minister, Anthony Loke, announced that a new search for the missing flight has resumed. The exact details of the contract with the maritime exploration firm conducting the search are still being finalized.

On Tuesday, Loke announced to reporters that this search was officially back on. Officials hope that technological advancements will improve the chances of locating the aircraft this time around.

According to Kim's reporting, the search will operate on a "no find, no fee" principle, meaning Ocean Infinity will only be compensated if the aircraft's wreckage is discovered. The reward stands at $70 million, as reported by the Associated Press.

This new search will concentrate on a different location covering 15,000 square kilometers (or 5,800 square miles), in the southern Indian Ocean, based on the "latest information and data analyses conducted by experts and researchers," Loke said. He did not provide details on how long the search is expected to last, as those negotiations are still underway.
