The latest search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 will end next week, Malaysia's new transport minister said. Transport minister Anthony Loke said that the latest search was due to end in April but was extended twice until May 29 at Ocean Infinity's request. The Malaysia Airlines plane vanished on March 8 2014 while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board. The official search was extremely difficult because no transmissions were received from the aircraft after its first 38 minutes of flight.
