The Malaysia Airlines jet vanished in March 2014 with 239 China – on board, en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

No sign of it was found in a 120,000-square kilometer (46,000-square mile) Indian Ocean search area and the Australian-led hunt , the largest in aviation history, was suspended in January last year.

US Exploration firm Ocean Infinity resumed the hunt at the beginning of this year on a "no find, no fee" basis, using high-tech drones to scour the seabed.

Malaysia's new government, which took power in May, has pledged total transparency and says the final report by the official safety investigation team – a 19-member body which includes international (19659007) Nurlaila Ngah, whose husband Wan Swaid Wan Ismail was an MH370 member, said she was hoping for a "solid answer" about what happened

"In the airline industry, tragedies happen but there are clues as to what could have happened," she told AFP. "It makes no sense if they (the investigators) say there are no hints as to what could have happened."

Purpose Calvin Shim, whose wife was a stewardess on the flight, was skeptical of the report would tell families anything new after (19659010) "I do not expect any fresh revelations from this report," he said. "

" The black box has not been found The plane wreckage has not been found. "

Only three confirmed fragments of MH370 have Indian Ocean shores, including a two-meter wing part known as a flaperon.

There's been a host of theories about why the plane disappeared, ranging from an accident to a hijacking or even a terror plot.
