MH370 SearchersTwo years on from its disappearance, Malaysia and Australia said that they remain “hopeful” that flight MH370 will eventually be found.

The aircraft disappeared between Kuala Lumpur and Beijing on March 8, 2014 with 239 people on board.

Australian-led search teams are combing a 120,000 square kilometre area of the Southern Indian Ocean.

The BBC reports that the investigating team is led by Malaysia and includes experts from the US, China, Australia, France and Britain.

Only one confirmed piece of debris, a part of wing called a Flaperon, has been found, on Reunion Island.

The search for the wreckage is estimated to have cost more than $130m (£92m).

The countries have said it would end once the current search area has been completely covered, likely to be around June.
