PERTH, AUSTRALIA — Although it has been slow, difficult and frustrating so far, the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines jet is nowhere near the point of being scaled back, Australia’s prime minister pledged Monday.
The three-week hunt for Flight 370 has turned up no sign of the Boeing 777, which vanished March 8 with 239 people bound for Beijing from Kuala Lumpur.
The search area is now 98,000 square miles, about a 2½-hour flight from Perth.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott said the intensity and magnitude of operations “is increasing, not decreasing.”
