MH370: Search for missing plane to be suspended not shut down
Source: BBC
The search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 will be suspended rather than shut down if the plane is not found in the current search area, officials say.
China, Malaysia and Australia had previously agreed to end the search in the southern Indian Ocean if no "credible new information" was found.
The plane, with 239 passengers and crew, disappeared in March 2014.
