Off the coast of Australia, the search for the missing MH370 flight, which disappeared in 2014, has been resumed.

On board the plane were 227 passengers and 12 crew members. The search for traces of flight MH370 is being conducted by the American company Ocean Infinity. It is expected to survey approximately 15,000 square kilometers off the western coast of Australia. This area of the sea is located about 1500 kilometers from the Australian city of Perth, situated on the southwest coast of the continent. It is anticipated that the search operations, now covering a smaller area than before, will be more thorough and targeted. Previously, in the search for the Malaysian airline liner, around 200,000 square kilometers had already been surveyed. In 2014, a Boeing 777-200 departing from Kuala Lumpur disappeared from radar within the first two hours of the flight. The experienced crew, each member of which had accumulated several thousand flight hours, bid the ground services good night in their last communication session. These words became the final message on air from Malaysia Airlines flight MH370. No traces of the plane have been found to this day. However, in January 2015, Malaysian authorities acknowledged the crash of the plane and the loss of all 239 people on board. Among those recognized as deceased was a Russian businessman from Irkutsk, Nikolai Brodsky. Among the considered versions of the disappearance were both the pilot's suicide and navigational equipment error. "We will continue to search for the plane," reassured Malaysia's Transport Minister Anthony Loke at the time. Within two years after the disappearance of flight MH370, more than four thousand kilometers away from the presumed crash site of the Malaysian airline liner, small fragments were discovered that could be parts of the missing plane's structure. These debris had drifted, carried by ocean currents until they washed up on the shores of the islands of Rodrigues and Reunion, as well as on the coasts of Mozambique and South Africa.
