The man overseeing the underwater search for MH370 believes the aircraft will be found in the southern Indian Ocean in the next three months.
With the entire 60,000 sq km priority search zone due to be fully explored by the end of May, governments have been reluctant to say what will happen if nothing is found.
The only statement the Joint Agency Coordination Centre has issued on the matter is the Chinese, Malaysian and Australian Governments will consider “next steps”.
“What those next steps might be is precisely what the three governments will need to consider,” said a JACC spokesman.
But Australian Transport Safety Bureau Commissioner Martin Dolan said he was confident of locating the Boeing 777 by the time the current search was complete. “I don’t wake up every day thinking ‘this will be the day’ but I do wake up every day hoping this will be it, and expecting that sometime between now and May that will be the day,” said Commissioner Dolan.
“It’s been both baffling and from our point of view unprecedented — not only the mystery of it, but also on the scale of what we’re doing to find the aircraft.
“As we keep on pointing out, we don’t have a certainty only a confidence that we’ll find the missing aircraft.”
