The search for flight MH370 could be about to take a new turn. Tracking data shows that state-of-the-art ships are heading to the area where the missing plane is believed to be. Underwater robotics company Ocean Infinity has been given the green light by the Malaysian government to resume the search.
The new MH370 search is estimated to cost $55 million and will be conducted under a “no find, no pay” model, meaning Ocean Infinity will only receive payment if the wreckage is located. The plan is to explore a 15.000 sq km area off the coast of Western Australia where experts believe the plane crashed.
The greatest search in aviation history
Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared on March 8, 2014 while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, carrying 239 passengers. It has since become one of the greatest mysteries in aviation history.
Several searches were carried out over the years, but all to no avail. Pieces of wreckage have been found in different parts of the Indian Ocean, but the exact location of the main fuselage and the cause of the disappearance remain unknown. The frustration of the victims' families has been growing, but this new investigation has rekindled hope that answers will finally be obtained.

The new technological approach on flight MH370
This time, Ocean Infinity intends to use a combination of advanced technologies to increase the chances of success. Three robotic submarines are ready to be deployed as soon as the company receives final confirmation.
One of the main advances is technology WSPR, which can help track aircraft by listening for signals jamming in the airspace. Although there is some debate about its accuracy, experts such as Professor Simon Maskell are working on applying this method. There is also the possibility of using underwater hydrophones to identify sounds that could reveal the exact location of wreckage.
Extreme Search Challenges
Searching for a plane in one of the most hostile regions on the planet is a monumental task. The southern Indian Ocean is known for its harsh weather conditions, with giant waves and strong winds that make any operation difficult.
Former naval officer Peter Waring, who was involved in the previous search for MH370, said the area was one of the most turbulent in the world. “The ships move so slowly that you can go faster. It’s really dangerous,” he said.
The initial plan was for the search to take place between January and April 2025, a period in which the conditions are more favorable. However, maritime tracking indicates that Ocean Infinity's Armada 78 06 is already heading towards the search zone, with arrival scheduled for February 23.
