On Mar 8th 2026 Ocean Infinity reported, that the new search has concluded without finding the aircraft. The CEO wrote: "It was important for us to take advantage of every piece of information and data available and go back, but despite all that effort, we haven’t been able to find it."

On Dec 3rd 2025 Malaysia's Ministry of Transport (MOT) announced, that Ocean Infinity is going to start the search for the missing aircraft on Dec 30th 2025. The search planned for April 2025 had been called off as it was not the right season. The Ministry will pay only if the aircraft has been found.
