Patrol planes are resuming the hunt for Malaysia’s missing jetliner in the Indian Ocean off Australia after an initial foray failed to find objects seen in satellite images that kindled hopes for a breakthrough.
Four aircraft will scour an area about 2,500 kilometers (1,550 miles) southwest of Perth today, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said in a statement. One merchant ship remains in the area, with another due to arrive overnight and the Royal Australian Navy’s HMAS Success set to be on station by tomorrow.
