The families of the passengers of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH 370 - which mysteriously disappeared 9 years ago - called on the Malaysian government today, Sunday, to allow an American company to conduct a new search for the plane at the bottom of the sea.
The fate of the plane turned into one of the biggest aviation mysteries in the world when it disappeared on its way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014.
In 2018, Malaysia hired the American company “Ocean Infinity” to search for the plane in the southern Indian Ocean, and offered it up to $ 70 million if it found the plane, but the process did not achieve the desired goal.
The company began the search after Malaysia, China and Australia ended a fruitless two-year search, costing about $136 million, in January 2017 after failing to find any trace of the missing plane.
The Voice 370 group - which represents passengers' relatives - said on Sunday that Ocean Infinity hopes to embark on new research as soon as this summer, and urged the Malaysian government to accept any proposals from the company on a conditional basis.
Such as not paying anything to the company unless it succeeds in the task.
