The search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 has been moved around 1,100 km to the north following a new analysis of its flight path, Australian officials said on Friday.

The international team of aircraft and boats would now comb approximately 3,19,000 square km of the Indian Ocean located around 1,850 km west of Perth, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) said, after new information was received from the Malaysian team investigating the incident.

“The new information is based on continuing analysis of radar data between the South China Sea and the Straits of Malacca before radar contact was lost,” AMSA said in a statement.

The latest data seemed to show the plane was travelling faster and therefore may have run out of fuel earlier than previously estimated, it said.

The Boeing 777 disappeared from radar screens around an hour after taking off from Kuala Lumpur bound for Beijing on March 8.
