Flight MH370 disappeared on March 8, 2014, with 239 people on board, after deviating from its route between Kuala Lumpur and Beijing. Analysis of satellite communications revealed that the aircraft continued flying for hours toward the southern Indian Ocean and likely ran out of fuel near the so-called seventh arc—an extensive line approximately 1,800 kilometers southwest of Perth. The subsequent recovery of a flaperon on Réunion Island and further debris along the Indian Ocean coast confirmed that the aircraft ended up in the ocean.

The underwater search became one of the largest operations in aviation history, but extreme depths, rugged terrain, and weather conditions made locating the fuselage extremely difficult. The investigation raised several scenarios for the final minutes: deliberate intervention in the cockpit, an emergency such as a fire or cabin pressure loss, autopilot flight after the passengers became incapacitated, or an uncontrolled descent after running out of fuel. The captain's flight simulator data, debris analyses, and the aircraft's last signals provided clues, but none of them allowed for a definitive determination of what happened.

In 2025 and early 2026, Ocean Infinity resumed the search, deploying autonomous underwater vehicles capable of operating at depths of 6,000 meters and mapping large areas of the seabed. The operation covered thousands of square kilometers but ended, partly due to weather conditions, without locating the aircraft. Malaysia subsequently extended the agreement to cover the remaining area during a new search window. Twelve years later, the flight path of MH370 is known with near certainty, but the fuselage and flight recorders have still not been found, leaving the cause of the disappearance one of modern aviation's greatest mysteries.
