SYDNEY: The hunt for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 plane will not be expanded beyond its current search area as there are no credible new leads, Australian officials said on Wednesday.

In April, more than a year after the plane vanished en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 mostly Chinese people on board, Malaysia, Australia and China announced that the search zone would double in size.
