The search for the Malaysia Airlines flight that went missing 10 years ago is reportedly set to be relaunched amid "credible" new evidence, Malaysian Transport Minipstrer Anthony Loke confirmed to the Daily Star.

Loke said the government is in ongoing, advanced discussions with Ocean Infantry, a Texas-based marine exploration company, to restart the search for the missing aircraft. Ocean Infantry reportedly made a "credible" proposal to explore a new area in the southern Indian Ocean, which is located off the west coast of Australia, amid advanced discussions between the two sides.

''Based on the latest information and analysis from experts and researchers, Ocean Infinity's search proposal is credible and can be considered by the Malaysian government as the flight's official registrar. The terms and costs requested are in the same draft agreement currently being negotiated between the government and Ocean Infinity. Should it be finalised, cabinet approval will be required, and I will make a public announcement,” Lake said via NDTV.com.

''We now feel in a position to be able to return to the search for MH370, and have submitted a proposal to the Malaysian government. Finding MH370 and bringing some resolution for all connected with the loss of the aircraft has been a constant in our minds since we left the southern Indian Ocean in 2018," said Ocean Infantry chief executive officer Oliver Plunkett.

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which had 239 occupants, disappeared from radar on March 8, 2014, during a flight from Malaysia to China, though the cause of its disappearances was never determined, becoming one of the greatest mysteries in the history of aviation.
