Sydney: Crews will resume the underwater hunt for missing Malaysia
Airlines Flight 370 at the end of the month, and will begin the search
in an area farther south than initially planned, a senior search
official said on Friday.
The search had been due to start next week, but the first of three ships that will scour a remote patch of the Indian Ocean for the plane that vanished in March needed to undergo some additional work in Indonesia, Australian Transport Safety Bureau Chief Commissioner Martin Dolan said.
The ship, Malaysia's GO Phoenix, is now expected to begin searching on September 30.
Officials have been refining their analysis of satellite data from the Boeing 777 to get the best idea of where they believe it crashed into the ocean far off Australia's west coast.
The most recent analysis suggests the aircraft turned south earlier than previously thought, meaning it may have entered the water in an area south of what was initially considered the highest priority search zone, Dolan said.
