Malaysia to resume MH370 search Dec. 30 with Ocean Infinity

Malaysia will resume the search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 on Dec. 30 with Texas-based Ocean Infinity under a “no-find, no-fee” contract signed in March 2025, carrying out a planned 55-day operation intermittently rather than continuously. Ocean Infinity had earlier restarted a seabed search but halted in April because of bad weather; China’s Foreign Ministry welcomed the renewed effort, and Ocean Infinity declined comment to AP.
