Latest MH370 Search Yields No Wreckage, Malaysia Says

Families urge Malaysia to extend the no‑find, no‑pay deal following the unsuccessful mission.

Overview

  • Malaysia’s Air Accident Investigation Bureau said Ocean Infinity’s seabed sweep from March 2025 to January 2026 produced no confirmed findings.
  • The mission inspected about 7,571 square kilometers within a 15,000 square kilometer target area in two phases, with operations disrupted by rough weather.
  • Under the government-approved terms, Ocean Infinity would be paid $70 million only if it locates wreckage, with the current authorization running through June.
  • Voice 370, representing families, called for an extension or similar offers to other deep-sea firms and noted the search vessel has been reassigned as winter seas approach.
  • Fragments linked to MH370 have washed ashore in the western Indian Ocean in past years, yet the main fuselage remains missing and the cause unresolved.
