MH370 search likely to wrap up in December
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau expects the underwater search for the missing Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 that operated flight MH370 to wrap up towards the end of the year. In its latest update on the ongoing search efforts, the Bureau says it anticipates completing the search on the 120,000 square kilometre area in the southern Indian Ocean “by approximately Dec 2016”. More than 110,000 square kilometres has been covered so far, although poor weather has hampered search efforts in recent weeks. The govts of Australia, China and Malaysia have agreed to suspend the underwater search once the full area has been covered, should there be no further leads. The ATSB adds that drift modelling in association with the Commonwealth Scientific and Research Organisation continues. <br/>
