Houston, Texas – A company based in Texas claims to have new scientific evidence regarding the final resting place of the missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370. Ocean Infinity has proposed a new search in the southern Indian Ocean where the plane is believed to have crashed a decade ago. The company has already submitted the proposal to the Malaysian government.
The proposed search by Ocean Infinity follows a “no-cure, no-fee” model, meaning payment is only required if the company is able to secure a positive outcome. CEO Oliver Plunkett expressed the company’s determination to bring resolution to the tragic loss of the aircraft, stating that finding MH370 has been a constant priority since their previous search in 2018.
The Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 disappeared from air traffic control radars on March 8, 2014, while flying over the South China Sea shortly after departing from Kuala Lumpur. The aircraft deviated from its planned route, heading west across the Southeast Asia peninsula before altering its path southward over the Indian Ocean. Onboard were 239 passengers, including 12 crew members.
Malaysia’s transport minister Anthony Loke has expressed confidence in approving the proposal by Ocean Infinity to resume the search for MH370. Plunkett mentioned the company’s ongoing analysis of data to narrow down the search area, highlighting the challenging nature of the search effort.
In 2018, Ocean Infinity conducted a three-month search on a “no cure, no fee” basis, covering approximately 112,000 square kilometers, with no new findings. Despite previous challenges, the company remains committed to utilizing advanced technology and expertise to potentially achieve success in locating the missing aircraft.
