More than a decade after it changed course and disappeared off radar, efforts to find the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 are set to resume after Malaysia’s Cabinet approved a “no find, no fee” agreement with British exploration firm Ocean Infinity.

The company will receive up to $70 million if the wreckage is found, depending on the area within which it is located, Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook announced, saying the government “is committed to continuing the search operation and providing closure for the families of the MH370 passengers.”
