(NewsNation) — A marine robotics company will restart the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 more than 10 years after the flight and its nearly 240 occupants disappeared en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Ocean Infinity will hunt through the Indian Ocean seabed for remains of the missing plane for up to 55 days. If any wreckage is found, the company would receive $70 million from the Malaysian government.
The Boeing 777 disappeared from air-traffic radar 40 minutes into its flight on March 8, 2014.
Since then, a few small fragments have washed ashore on Africa’s coast and on islands in the Indian Ocean, but no bodies or substantial wreckage have ever been recovered.

What happened on the flight has long baffled the world — there were no distress calls, technical failures nor severe weather when the plane’s communications were cut and it veered off its path.
Malaysian investigators in 2018 cleared the passengers and crew of any wrongdoing but did not rule out “unlawful interference,” the Associated Press reported.
Greg Feith, a former investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board, told NewsNation the Indian Ocean’s depth and terrain could stump even the latest technology.
“You’re talking the Rocky Mountains underwater, then on top of it, from my understanding and my research, there’s better than 2,000 feet of silt,” Feith said.
“All of that technology may have improved, but that doesn’t mean they’re going to find this aircraft,” he added.
The hunt for MH370 remains the largest water search in history. Investigators have covered roughly 46,000 square miles of seabed throughout the years.
