Has the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 ever been found?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
A little over a year after searching for the missing aircraft, a section of a plane wing washed up on the shore off the East African Coast, with then Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak confirming it was from MH370.<\/p>\n
Over the years, a number of pieces of the plane have been discovered<\/a>, including in Mozambique, Zanzibar and Mauritius. Three of the 27 pieces found<\/a> were identified as belonging to flight 370.<\/p>\n
In January 2017, the underwater search for the flight was called off<\/a>.<\/p>
\u201cToday, the last search vessel has left the underwater search area,\u201d the passengers\u2019 families were told. \u201cMalaysia Airlines flight MH370 has not been located in the 120,000 square-kilometre underwater search area in the South Indian Ocean.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe decision to suspend the underwater search has not been taken lightly nor without sadness.\u201d<\/p>\n
The following year, a privately funded search by Ocean Infinity also came to an end<\/a>, with Malaysia saying it had no plans to restart the search.<\/p>\n
