6.0
Malaysia's transport ministry said on Wednesday that the deep-sea hunt for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 will resume Dec. 30, with U.S.-based Ocean Infinity conducting intermittent searches over 55 days at a newly defined 15,000-square-kilometre site. The company operates under a no-find, no-fee contract that would pay C$97 million only if wreckage is located, aiming to provide closure to families.
