UPDATE 1-Search for missing flight MH370 to resume this month, Malaysia says

Ocean Infinity confirmed it will recommence seabed search operations for 55 days, to be conducted intermittently, Malaysia's transport ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.

The search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 will resume on December 30, Malaysia's transport ministry said on Wednesday, more than a decade after the Beijing-bound flight disappeared in one of the world's greatest aviation mysteries.

Flight MH370, a Boeing 777, was carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew when it vanished en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in 2014. The most recent search in the southern Indian Ocean in April this year was suspended due to poor weather conditions. Ocean Infinity confirmed it will recommence seabed search operations for 55 days, to be conducted intermittently, Malaysia's transport ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.
