An underwater US drone has resumed its search for the missing Malaysian airliner which disappeared on March 8 with 239 people on board.

The drone’s first mission ended sooner than expected after it exceeded its 4.5 km depth limit and returned automatically to the surface.

A spokesman warned that it could take up to two months to scour a 600 sq Km area of the Indian Ocean where the plane is presumed to have crashed.
