Kuala Lumpur ∙ There is a demand for a new investigation for the Malaysian plane that disappeared nine years ago with 239 passengers in mysterious circumstances. The relatives of the passengers of the missing plane have asked the Malaysian government to reassign the US company Ocean Infinity to investigate.
Flight MH370 went missing on March 8, 2014 while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Not even the wreckage of the plane was found. A 2-year search in the Indian Ocean by Malaysia, China and Australia was unsuccessful. Ocean Infinity was then taken over, but following a 3-month search, they pulled out. It is indicated that the government may allow the situation to be more demanding.
The investigators had suspected that the plane had flown for 7 hours following the proposed air route had been changed and this had happened following all communication devices had been disconnected. The possibility of kidnapping was also considered.
