MH370: Malaysia in talks with US firm to resume search for plane

Government confirms negotiations with Ocean Infinity to restart search for flight that disappeared three years ago

Malaysia is negotiating a deal with a US-based seabed exploration firm to resume the search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, which vanished three years ago in the southern Indian Ocean with 239 people aboard.

The disappearance of the aircraft en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur ranks among the world's greatest aviation mysteries after Australia, China and Malaysia ended a fruitless $157m (119m) search effort in January.
