The underwater search undertaken by the governments of Australia, Malaysia and China to find the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has been called off.

According to investigators, the last search vessel that was exploring 120,000km² underwater search areas in the southern Indian Ocean was unsuccessful in locating the aircraft.

“Whilst combined scientific studies have continued to refine areas of probability, to date no new information has been discovered to determine the specific location of the aircraft.”

Investigators previously found flight debris in Tanzania, reported New York Times.

In March 2014, the flight disappeared on its way from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing, China, triggering a three-year long land and sea search with little results.

A joint statement issued by the governments of the three countries read: “Despite every effort using the best science available, cutting-edge technology, as well as modelling and advice from highly skilled professionals who are the best in their field, unfortunately, the search has not been able to locate the aircraft.

“It is consistent with decisions made by our three countries in the July 2016 Ministerial Tripartite meeting in Putrajaya Malaysia.

“Whilst combined scientific studies have continued to refine areas of probability, to date no new information has been discovered to determine the specific location of the aircraft.”

Earlier this month, it was reported that Boeing plans to undertake a new privately funded search for MH370, reported International Business Times.
