Kuala Lumpur. The Malaysian government has authorised a renewed search for the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, more than a decade after the aircraft disappeared under mysterious circumstances. The new search operation will cover a vast 15,000 square kilometre area in the southern Indian Ocean.

Malaysia’s government has given final approval for a Texas-based marine robotics company to renew the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which is believed to have crashed in the southern Indian Ocean more than a decade ago.

Malaysia's government Wednesday authorized a new search for flight MH370 which went down in March 2014 and was never found. Marine robotics company Ocean Infinity will conduct the search.
