  • The operation begins 30 December and will be conducted intermittently by Ocean Infinity over a 55‑day seabed campaign in the highest‑probability zone—a significant renewed investment in deep‑sea search capability more than a decade after MH370 disappeared.
  • Locating wreckage is essential to concluding the MH370 investigation; the restart comes while Malaysia Airlines remains active operationally, including a pending long‑haul widebody RFP and recent aircraft movements, providing broader context on the carrier’s ongoing fleet decisions (see https://hype.aero/?story=a05f7b2f-0dca-4e6c-b058-c4bed336a1ec and https://hype.aero/?story=1e96876a-4ff7-471b-8c02-aa7f5aff83ad).
