Malaysia’s announcement that the search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight 370 will resume was welcome news for Jiang Hui, whose mother was a passenger on the plane.
“I hope the truth will come out soon, the wait has been such a torment for the families,” he wrote in a social media post sharing the news.
Malaysia’s transport ministry made the announcement on Wednesday, more than a decade after the Boeing 777 carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew vanished en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in one of aviation’s biggest mysteries.

Malaysian authorities said the search – which began in March in the southern Indian Ocean but was suspended after a few weeks due to poor weather – would resume on December 30.
It is being led by US-based exploration firm Ocean Infinity under a “no find, no fee” arrangement.
