Beijing court orders Malaysia Airlines to compensate MH370 families as search resumes
A Beijing court has ordered Malaysia Airlines to pay over 2.9 million yuan (RM1.7 million) in compensation to families of MH370 victims. The ruling comes as the search for the missing plane prepares to resume after more than a decade of uncertainty.
Flight MH370 disappeared on March 8, 2014, with 239 people on board, including 72-year-old Jiang Cuiyun. Despite the largest search effort in aviation history, the aircraft has never been found.
The Malaysian government recently announced that the search will restart at the end of December 2025. Ocean Infinity, a marine exploration company, will lead the operation in the Indian Ocean, south of Western Australia. The mission is set to begin on December 30.
Families of the victims have requested details about the new search area and the technology being used. So far, they have not received any official response. Jiang Hui, the son of Jiang Cuiyun, runs a social media group where relatives share updates and support one another.
The court’s compensation order provides some financial relief to affected families. Meanwhile, the renewed search offers a chance for answers, though past efforts have yielded no results. The operation’s success remains uncertain as the mystery of MH370 continues.
