Australia is ready to help Malaysia in new efforts to find missing plane MH370. Malaysia is in negotiations with the American marine robotics company Ocean Infinity to discuss a new search operation.

On March 8, 2014, a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200 took off from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. The flight wished the ground services good night; the crew did not make contact again. All 239 people on board were declared dead. Among them is a Russian citizen, businessman from Irkutsk Nikolai Brodsky.
