After its unsuccessful 2018 mission, UK–U.S. firm Ocean Infinity has agreed to launch a new search.

The search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 will resume at the end of December, Malaysia’s transport ministry said on Wednesday, more than a decade after the plane disappeared.

The plane carrying 239 people vanished from radar screens on March 8, 2014, while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, in one of aviation’s greatest enduring mysteries.

Two-thirds of the passengers were Chinese, while the others included Malaysians, Indonesians and Australians, as well as Indian, American, Dutch and French nationals.

Despite the largest search in aviation history, the plane has not been found.

Kuala Lumpur said in a statement it “wishes to update that the deep-sea search for the missing wreckage of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 will resume on 30 December 2025.”

An initial Australia-led search covered 120,000 square kilometres (46,300 square miles) in the Indian Ocean over three years but found hardly any trace of the plane other than a few pieces of debris.
