These calls came after two French experts announced that the mystery of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 could be solved within days if there is a new search.
Earlier this week, aerospace expert Jean-Luc Marchand and pilot Patrick Blelly called for a new search based on available data about the fate of the flight.
The two experts called on the Australian Transport Safety Authority, as well as the Malaysian government and exploration company Ocean Infinity, to launch a new search to find the missing plane.
In a speech to the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAS), two experts said the new search area for MH370 could be reviewed in 10 days.
`We have a proposal for a small area and looking at new possibilities will take 10 days. It could be a quick thing. Until the debris of MH370 is found, no one knows what happened
Both added that at the time of the accident, the plane’s transponder was turned off and turning around was not possible using the autopilot.
Mr. Jiang Hui, whose mother Jiang Cuiyun was on flight MH370, said that finding the missing plane has always been the family’s `core pursuit.`
But Song Chunjie, a relative of another victim, said it was useless for experts to call for a search.
Mr. Song put his faith in the professionalism of Ocean Infinity, a US-based marine robotics company that embarked on a three-month search for MH370 in 2018. He added that equipment was needed.
On the evening of March 8, 2014, a Malaysia Airlines plane carrying 239 people on board, including more than 150 Chinese citizens, left Kuala Lumpur for Beijing.
Large-scale search operations involving many countries were conducted in the southern Indian Ocean but neither the plane nor its debris were found.
However, the families of those on the plane never gave up hope and pursued efforts to find the truth.
