Despite a sustained international search mission, no traces of the missing aircraft have been found in the past 100 days [AP]
MH370, which carried 239 people, including 154 Chinese, went missing on March 8 shortly after take off from Kuala Lumpur en route to Beijing.
Malaysian authorities pledged to continue the search with “renewed vigour”.
In the first month since MH370 went off radar, some 9 aircraft and 14 naval vessels from an international coalition have been scouring a region expanding from the South China Sea to the Indian Ocean near Australia.
Last month, four ships and US submarine drone Bluefin-21 took up the search at sea and underwater. China also beefed up its search force by deploying an Antarctic icebreaker, eight warships, several coastguard vessels, and a civilian cargo ship.
Despite the massive international effort, no debris of the aircraft has been found.
Earlier this week, Malaysia reiterated its commitment to locate the aircraft although it acknowledged that the search was entering a much more challenging phase.
“I sincerely believe Malaysia will be credited for doing the best to our abilities under near-impossible circumstances and history will judge us favorably for that,” said acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein, who also conveyed his sympathies to the families of those on board MH370.
