The missing Malaysian Airlines aircraft MH370 might be found in “days” if there was a fresh search, according to experts. The jet has been missing for nearly ten years. The South China Morning Post reported that pilot Patrick Blelly and aerospace expert Jean-Luc Marchand demanded a fresh investigation that would shed light on the disappearance. In a talk given in front of the Royal Aeronautical Society in London, the two claimed that it would only take ten days to cover the new search region. “We have done our homework. We have a proposal … the area is small and considering new capabilities it will take 10 days. It could be a quick thing. Until the wreck of MH370 is found, nobody knows (what happened). But, this is a plausible trajectory,” Mr Marchand told news.com.au.

The pair urged the Malaysian government and the Australian Transport Safety Authority to relaunch the search for MH370’s remains. Both experts agreed that the recommended search region was based on the assumption that the plane was deliberately hijacked and crashed in the deep ocean. Mr Marchad characterized it as an ”atrocious one-way excursion,” possibly carried out by an experienced aviation pilot.
”We think, and the study that we’ve done has shown us, that the hijacking was probably performed by an experienced pilot. The cabin was depressurised … and it was a soft control ditching to produce minimal debris. It was performed to not be trapped or found. Certainly, the aircraft was not visible except for the military. The guy knew that if search and rescue would be triggered, it would be on the flight path,” Mr Marchad explained. The duo further argued that the plane’s transponder was turned off and that the “U-turn” it did away from the flight path could not have been autopilot. They further noted that the sudden change in direction occurred when the plane was in a ”no man’s land”, between Thai, Indonesian, Indian, and Malay airspace.
Notably, on March 8, 2014, flight MH370, with 227 passengers and 12 crew members, vanished after taking off from Kuala Lumpur Airport in southern Malaysia on its way to Beijing, China. Even after extensive searches, the wreckage was not discovered. A fisherman in Australia reported a few days ago that he discovered a significant component of the missing jet but was ignored by officials.
