Relatives of passengers on a Malaysia Airlines plane that mysteriously vanished 10 years ago gathered on Sunday for a memorial as they called for a new search.

About 500 relatives and their supporters attended the event at a shopping centre near Kuala Lumpur, where Malaysia's Minister of Transport told the crowd that the government would discuss a "no-find, no-fee proposal" with marine exploration firm Ocean Infinity.

Flight MH370, a Boeing 777 aircraft carrying 239 people, disappeared from radar screens on March 8, 2014, while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Despite the largest search in aviation history, the plane has never been found.
