The search for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 has expanded to two areas and is now covering almost 50,000 square kilometres, Malaysia's transport minister, Hishammuddin Hussein said.
In Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday, Hussien said 42 ships and 39 aircraft had been deployed in search operations.
Hussein said the search effort for the missing plane with 239 people on board was "unprecedented" and that authorities would continue searching until they found it.
The operation is a multinational effort with 12 countries now taking part.
Hussein gave his assurance to the families of passengers and crew that no efforts would be spared in finding the plane.
"We will never give up hope," he said.
Flight MH370 took off from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing early on Saturday
morning and last made contact with ground control officials about 35,000
feet (10,600km) above the Gulf of Thailand between Malaysia and
southern Vietnam before vanishing.
