MH370 search 'may be scaled back'

March 05, 2015 09:54

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott has hinted that the search for missing flight MH370 may be scaled back. But, speaking to MPs and passengers' relatives ahead of the anniversary of the disappearance, Abbott said he hoped the plane would be found.

He said that those with loved ones aboard the flight had been through a "harrowing nightmare". The Malaysia Airlines plane vanished en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8 2014 with 239 people on board. "I do reassure the families of our hope and expectation that the ongoing search will succeed," Abbott told parliament in Canberra. "I can't promise that the search will go on at this intensity forever but we will continue our very best efforts to resolve this mystery and provide some answers," he said.
