Malaysia signed a deal with a US seabed exploration firm for up to $50 million to find the missing MH370 aircraft.
The plane mysteriously dissappeared with hardly a trace in 2014.
Experts have searched thousands of square miles and are still debating about where it could be.
Malaysia signed a deal on Wednesday to pay a U.S. seabed exploration firm up to $50 million if it finds the missing Malaysia Airlines aircraft MH370 in a new search area in the Southern Indian ocean.
The disappearance of the aircraft en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in March 2014 with 239 people aboard ranks among the world's greatest aviation mysteries.
