MH370 Search Fails Again: Families Vow to Continue
8 Mar
Summary
- Recent deep-sea search for MH370 in the Indian Ocean found no wreckage.
- Families of passengers continue to press for sustained search efforts.
- Ocean Infinity's 'no-find, no-fee' search concluded without success.
Twelve years after the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, a recent deep-sea search operation in the southern Indian Ocean has failed to locate the missing aircraft. Malaysian authorities confirmed on March 8, 2026, that the extensive search, conducted by marine robotics firm Ocean Infinity, covered thousands of square kilometers of the ocean floor but yielded no confirmed wreckage.
The search was undertaken between March 2025 and January 2026 under a 'no-find, no-fee' agreement, with Ocean Infinity set to receive a significant payment only if the wreckage was discovered. Despite the effort, the operation, which faced periodic weather disruptions, did not find any clues to the plane's location. The Boeing 777 vanished on March 8, 2014, with 239 people on board, en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Families of those lost, represented by Voice 370, are urging the Malaysian government to extend the search contract and consider similar arrangements with other companies. They emphasize that the government incurs no cost unless the aircraft is found and have vowed to continue their fight for answers, stating they will never give up on the search for the missing plane.
