Multinational search operation for the missing plane resumed today with 14 planes and nine ships joining the hunt, a day after Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak vowed not to give up on the search for the aircraft.
The federal government's Joint Agency Coordination Centre, which is overseeing the search, in a statement said 10 military planes, four civil jets and nine ships will scour for the plane that disappeared on March 8.
The search will focus on three areas within the same vicinity in the Indian Ocean. The first aircraft left for the search area early this morning.
A total of 26 State Emergency Service volunteers from Western Australia, New South Wales and Victoria will work as air observers on three of the civil aircraft.
