The search will begin on December 30, the Malaysian Ministry of Transport said on Wednesday.
Malaysia Airlines’ Boeing 777 on its way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board suddenly disappeared from radar screens over the Indian Ocean on March 8, 2014. Experts suspect that the plane deviated from course and crashed into the southern Indian Ocean after flying for hours with an empty tank.
A new search for the wreckage of the plane was suspended in April. “I think now is not the right time of year,” the state news agency Bernama quoted Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke as saying at the time. The specialist company Ocean Infinity has stopped its operation in the Indian Ocean for the time being, but will resume it at the end of the year.
The company, based in the US and UK, launched a new search in February using a deep-sea supply ship and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to search the seabed for signs of the missing Boeing 777. (sda/afp/dpa)
