A marine robotics company could provide a much-needed breakthrough in the search for the missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 as they have put forward a new proposal to restart search efforts.

Ocean Infinity has tabled a proposal to the Malaysian government to find the flight which vanished back in 2014.

The proposal was reported by the MH370 Families Facebook Page which is managed by the Association for Families of the Passengers and Crew on board MH370.

The group claimed that the operation would be carried out on a "No find - No fee" basis and was "well received" by the government minister.

The Malaysian Airlines flight disappeared more than a decade ago while flying over the South China Sea.

Ocean Infinity said back in March that they are now "in a position" to reopen a probe after previously scouring the southern Indian Ocean in 2018.

The company's chief executive officer Oliver Plunkett said: "We now feel in a position to be able to return to the search for MH370, and have submitted a proposal to the Malaysian government.

"Finding MH370 and bringing some resolution for all connected with the loss of the aircraft has been a constant in our minds since we left the southern Indian Ocean in 2018.

"Since then, we have focused on driving the transformation of operations at sea; innovating with technology and robotics to further advance our ocean search capabilities."

Plunkett added that his team have been analysing data in a bid to narrow the search area.

He added: "This search is arguably the most challenging, and indeed the most pertinent one out there.

"We've been working with many experts, some outside of Ocean Infinity, to continue analysing the data in the hopes of narrowing the search area down to one in which success becomes potentially achievable.

"We hope to get back to the search soon."
