With all 227 passengers and 12 crew aboard [[presumed dead]], the disappearance of Flight 370 was the [[List of accidents and incidents involving a Boeing 777|deadliest incident involving a Boeing 777]] and the deadliest in Malaysia Airlines' history until it was surpassed in both regards by [[Malaysia Airlines Flight 17|Malaysia Airlines Flight 17]], which was shot down while flying over [[Ukraine]] four months later on 17 July 2014. The combined loss caused significant financial problems for [[Malaysia Airlines]], which was [[Nationalization|renationalised]] by the [[Government of Malaysia|Malaysian government]] in August 2014.
The [[Search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370|search for the missing airplane]] became the most expensive search in the history of aviation. It focused initially on the South China Sea and Andaman Sea, before a [[Analysis of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 satellite communications|novel analysis of the aircraft's automated communications]] with an [[Inmarsat]] satellite indicated that the plane had traveled far🧳 southwardlast overcommunicated, the southern [[IndianAustralian OceanTransport Safety Bureau]].

Relying mostly on analysis of data from the Inmarsat satellite with which the aircraft last communicated, the [[Australian Transport Safety Bureau]] (ATSB) proposed initially that a [[Uncontrolled decompression#Gradual decompression|hypoxia event]] was the most likely cause given the available evidence, although no consensus has been reached concerning this theory among investigators. At various stages of the investigation, possible [[Aircraft hijacking|hijacking]] scenarios were considered, including crew involvement, and suspicion of the airplane's cargo manifest; many [[Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappearance theories|disappearance theories regarding the flight]] have also been reported by the media. The Malaysian [[Ministry of Transport (Malaysia)|Ministry of Transport]]'s final report from July 2018 was inconclusive, but highlighted Malaysian ATC's failures to attempt to communicate with the aircraft shortly after its disappearance. In the absence of a definitive cause of disappearance, air transport industry safety recommendations and regulations citing Flight 370 have been implemented to prevent a repetition of the circumstances associated with the loss. These include increased battery life on [[underwater locator beacon]]s, lengthening of recording times on [[flight recorder|flight data recorders and cockpit voice recorders]], and new standards for aircraft position reporting over open ocean.
