The renewed search, which began on December 30, 2025, is being conducted by the marine robotics company Ocean Infinity under a “no-find, no-fee” agreement with the Malaysian government. Under this deal, the company will only be paid (up to approximately $70 million) if it successfully locates the aircraft. �
