Speaking at a press conference today, Mr Mahathir said: "We have to come to a stage where we cannot keep searching for something we cannot find. "If we find any new information, we may resume the search." The missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 disappeared during its journey from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8 2014, and no sign of any of the 239 passengers on board has been found. Malaysia's new transport minister Loke Siew Fook terminated the search for missing MH370 on Tuesday, after authorities claimed the flight could not be traced. KS Narendran, whose wife was on the missing plane, said Mr Loke’s offer of closure was “simply closing the case file, not resolving the case because someone got tired.” He said: “I am barely able to contain my deep sense of betrayal. "It is barely possible to conceal anger at a decision taken without the courtesy of a meeting and consultation with affected families.” The search for missing Malaysia Airlines MH370 flight could be continued Grace Nathan, whose mother was on MH370 said: "People might think: 'Why are these people still harping on about this, it's been four years'. "It's important for people to remember that MH370 is not history." US firm Ocean Infinity carried out a 90 day search operation, with officials promising a £52.3 million ($70million) 'finders fee' for any new details of the missing plane. Unsuccessful in their findings, Malaysian authorities decided to officially cease the long-standing search. Ocean Infinity's search operation was expected to end in June, however the team were met with time constraints on refuelling and resupplying their search vessel Seabed Constructor, which disrupted their 90 day search scouring the depths of the Indian Ocean.

After one year and an exhaustive search, investigators still have no clue as to the whereabouts of the missing airline Play slideshow AFP/Getty Images 1 of 19 A family member of a passenger missing on Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 cries during a protest near the Malaysian embassy in Beijing on March 8, 2015<doc-sep>The latest search for MH370 — the Malaysia Airlines plane that disappeared four years ago en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people onboard — has ended in failure, the company behind the search said on Tuesday. The company, Ocean Infinity of Houston, which scoured the seabed for any sign of wreckage with support from the Malaysian government, announced that the search was winding down with no evidence of the plane’s whereabouts. “Part of our motivation for renewing the search was to try to provide some answers to those affected,” Oliver Plunkett, Ocean Infinity’s chief executive, said in a statement. “It is therefore with a heavy heart that we end our current search without having achieved that aim.” He did not rule out a future resumed hunt. The plane, a Boeing 777 operated by Malaysia Airlines, deviated from its planned route north on March 8, 2014, for reasons that are still unknown. After traveling south over the Indian Ocean, the plane is believed to have flown for about five hours before probably running out of fuel and disappearing.<doc-sep>
The latest search for doomed Malaysian Airways Flight 370 officially ended Tuesday after three months of scouring the Indian Ocean floor without finding the wreckage. Texas-based Ocean Infinity finished the hunt, after two extensions of the original 90-day time limit. Flight 370 disappeared March 8, 2014, while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board. An official search of the southern Indian Ocean by Australia, Malaysia and China ended in January 2017. Malaysia signed a “no cure, no fee” deal with Ocean Infinity in January to resume the search. Ocean Infinity stood to be paid $70 million if it had found the wreckage or black boxes. Oliver Plunkett, Ocean Infinity’s chief executive, said he was disappointed the search was fruitless. He said he hoped to take part in some future search.

It is therefore with a heavy heart that we end our current search without having achieved that aim.” “Whilst clearly the outcome so far is extremely disappointing, as a company, we are truly proud of what we have achieved both in terms of the quality of data we’ve produced and the speed with which we covered such a vast area,” Plunkett said. “We sincerely hope that we will be able to again offer our services in the search for MH370 in the future,” he added.
