The search for flight MH370 ended today more than four years after the plane disappeared, triggering one of the world’s greatest aviation mysteries.

The Malaysia Airlines jet vanished in March 2014 with 239 people on board, en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

The airliner was not found during a 120,000 square-kilometers sea search zone and the Australia-led hunt, the largest in aviation history, was suspended in January last year.

After pressure from family members, the former Malaysian government struck a deal with US exploration firm Ocean Infinity to restart the search in January on the condition it would only be paid if the Boeing 777 or its black boxes were found.

According to Al Jazeera news agency, the company stood to make up to $70 million if successful, but it did not find any sign of the plane despite scouring the seabed with some of the world’s most hi-tech search equipment.
