  • The latest search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 has been postponed until the end of the year as it’s “not the season”.
  • The search, led by Ocean Infinity, aims to locate the wreckage within a 15,000 sq km area off the coast of Perth, Australia in the southern Indian Ocean.
  • The Malaysian government has a "no-find, no-fee" agreement with Ocean Infinity, promising $70 million (£54m) if the wreckage is found.

  • Ocean Infinity's advanced autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are being used to scan the ocean floor.
