The Australian Joint Agency Coordination Centre(JICC) informed that the Federal Government has placed a date on the underwater search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 in June 2016.

The search is already the largest and most expensive investigation in history and has covered more than 80,000 square kilometres of sea floor, reports News.com.au

Flight MH370 vanished on March 8, 2014 after departing from to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on route to Beijing, with 239 passengers and crew on board.

The JACC statement said weather had affected the search recently, but it would continue over the Christmas and new year.

The disappearance of the plane gripped the world with countless theories from terrorism to pilot error of what could have gone wrong.
