Washington, United States (AFP): Nearly 12 years after Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 vanished with 239 people on board, the search for answers to one of aviation's most haunting riddles resumed Tuesday (Dec 30) in the remote southern Indian Ocean. MH370 took off from Kuala Lumpur just after midnight on March 8, 2014, bound for Beijing on what should have been an uneventful six-hour flight. A Beijing court ordered Malaysia Airlines on December 8, 2025 to pay compensation to the families of eight passengers from flight MH370, more than a decade after the plane disappeared. In this picture taken on December 10, 2025, Jiang Hui, whose mother was on board the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, is seen showing items commemorating the accident at his home in Beijing. Jiang Cuiyun, then a 72-year-old retiree, was one of 239 people aboard flight MH370 when it vanished from radar screens on March 8, 2014, en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
