Families of 153 Chinese passengers aboard the missing MH370 flight are once again hopeful as a fresh search for the plane is announced.
One of aviation’s biggest mysteries, search for the flight which vanished eleven years ago just 40 minutes after take-off is set to restart at the end of the month.
For many, the renewed mission represents one more chance and perhaps the final one, to uncover what happened on that tragic night in March 2014.
Malaysia confirmed that a new deep-sea operation will begin at the end of December, led by the marine-robotics company Ocean Infinity.
The firm will operate under a “no-find, no-fee” structure, using updated sonar technology and past flight-path modelling to target a specific section of the southern Indian Ocean.
Authorities say the chosen area, covering around 15,000 square kilometres, is now considered the most promising zone after years of analysis and refined data.
The announcement has brought a sense of relief to family groups in China, who have spent more than a decade living with an agonising absence of answers. Many relatives say that while time has passed, their need for clarity has not faded.
Some welcomed the new search with quiet optimism, saying they hope it will finally uncover evidence that can explain why the aircraft disappeared.
Others expressed a more guarded response, noting that previous searches had raised hopes only to end in disappointment.
For families who have gathered year after year to call for continued investigation, the challenge has never been simply to locate the wreckage.
It has also been about restoring trust and ensuring that the fate of the 239 people aboard is not forgotten.
Investigators believe that advances in underwater mapping and autonomous scanning give this mission a stronger chance than earlier efforts.
Even so, the search is expected to be complex and demanding, carried out in some of the world’s most remote and turbulent waters.
Even after more than a decade, they say the need to understand what happened and to honour the memory of those on board, remains as urgent as ever.
