Update for Malaysia Airlines flight 370 reveals a continuation of the search operation for the missing aircraft in the southern part of the Indian Ocean.

After months of mapping the ocean floor where the ill-fated plane reportedly crash, the entire crew is now back on track. Experts previously halted the search operation for the missing aircraft as they still need to map the bed of the ocean for them to have better access in the area and for the hunt to become easier. On Monday, the ship Go Phoenix, sent by the Malaysian government to aid Fugro NV, the Dutch firm leading the mission already arrived in the area, about 1,800 miles west of Australia while it already started sweeping with a sonar device known as towfish.

The new chapter of the hunt which will start at the southern part of the ocean is expected to give new updates about the whereabouts of the missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370. The team will use a sonar device which can carry video equipment which will assist the people aboard the ship to spot for any debris of the missing plane. According to reports, it will also have a sensor which can detect traces of jet fuel.

The search operation of the said airplane has been going on for months since it has disappeared in the air on March 8 this year. Flight 370 has 239 people on board when it departs from Kuala Lumpur International Airport en route to Beijing; however, the aircraft lost contact with the air traffic control shortly after it took off. Many theories emerged regarding the sudden disappearance of the plane since no specific updates can point out its location.

Although recent news updates about the flight 370 reveal that the team is already equipped with high-tech materials to be used for the search, the team still faces several problems regarding the ocean floor especially when the search goes deeper. Previous underwater operations were already launched, but no debris of the plane was recovered.
