Malaysia extends search for MH370 for another year - Thai PBS World

Theory Briefing

  • Malaysia extended its contract with marine robotics firm Ocean Infinity for another year of deep-sea searching in the southern Indian Ocean.
  • MH370 has remained missing for over a decade, making it one of the longest and most expensive unsolved aviation disappearances in history.
  • The continued search reflects how incomplete physical evidence keeps multiple competing theories — from mechanical failure to deliberate diversion — all technically alive.
  • Ocean Infinity uses autonomous underwater vehicles, meaning the search presses on without a confirmed target zone, only probabilistic models of where the plane could be.
