A private company has renewed its pledge to locate MH370 on a ‘no find, no fee’ basis after authorities spent $200million on a fruitless search.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) attempted to find the missing aircraft for two years after it vanished during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in 2014.
US-based company Ocean Infinity was this week briefed by the ATSB in London after it earlier offered to take up the search for free should it be unsuccessful.

The two-day meeting involved officers of the CSIRO, the ATSB and other bodies which were involved in the original search, The Australian reported.
‘We only talked about where they would search,’ a CSIRO drift modelling expert told the paper, indicating the original agreement may go ahead.
Ocean Infinity’s search could reportedly start in a matter of weeks.
The company struck the ‘no find, no fee’ deal with the Malaysian Government earlier this year and was to receive $90 million only if it located the wreckage.
It plans to use sonar scanning equipment to find aircraft, after a multinational search cost Australian, Malaysian and Chinese taxpayers $200million.
The three countries agreed to suspend the search in January after 120,000 square kilometres of seabed was combed without finding any trace of the doomed flight.
MH370 disappeared without a trace with 12 Malaysian crew members and 227 passengers from 15 nations on board.
