KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia ‌has extended by one year its deal with deep-sea exploration firm Ocean Infinity to conduct an underwater search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, the transport ministry said on Monday. The Boeing 777 aircraft was carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew when it vanished en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in 2014, becoming one of the world’s ‌enduring aviation mysteries. Multiple ‌search operations conducted for ‌the ⁠plane in the southern ⁠Indian Ocean have proved fruitless.
