Key Takeaways:
Malaysia has agreed to resume the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, more than 10 years after its disappearance in March 2014.
The renewed search will be led by Ocean Infinity in the southern Indian Ocean, expected to begin in early 2025 and cover approximately 15,000 square kilometers.
The search operates on a "no find, no fee" basis; Malaysia will pay Ocean Infinity $70 million only if substantive wreckage of the aircraft is located.
