Kuala lumpur: The Malaysian Ministry of Transport announced that authorities will resume the search for the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, which disappeared in 2014, on December 30.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, last March, Malaysian authorities reached an agreement with the American company Ocean Infinity to conduct new search operations for the wreckage. In April, Malaysian Transport Minister Lok Siow Phuc stated that the American company’s search for the missing plane had been suspended because it was “out of season.”

The New Straits Times reported that “the search for the wreckage of the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 will resume at a great depth on December 30.” The Malaysian Ministry of Transport announced, according to the newspaper, that Ocean Infinity would resume its search operations on the ocean floor for 55 days.

Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared from radar screens on the night of March 8, 2014. The Boeing 777-200 was en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 227 passengers and 12 crew members on board, including a Russian tourist. The plane is believed to have crashed in the southern Indian Ocean. The search operation failed to locate the crash site. After a three-year search funded by the authorities of several countries, no wreckage was found.
