Air Chief Marshall Angus Houston described the search operation as “very complex, very demanding”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 is the “most challenging” ever seen, the man responsible for co-ordinating the search from Australia says.<\/p>\n

Air Chief Marshall Angus Houston also said that the search for the plane could take weeks.<\/p>\n

The plane disappeared on 8 March as it was travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. It was carrying 239 people.<\/p>\n

Search teams are scouring the southern Indian Ocean for signs of the plane.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Tuesday, ACM Houston, who is heading a new Joint Agency Coordination Centre (JACC) managing the search, said the task was “very complex” because the teams had no hard information to work from.<\/p>\n

Search efforts would take time, he said. “It’s not something that will necessarily be resolved in the next two weeks, for example.”<\/p>\n

Ten military aircraft and nine ships were scheduled to examine Tuesday’s search zone, while an Australia defence vessel with a towed pinger was en route to the area, he added.<\/p>\n

ACM Houston explained that they had no information on how high the plane had flown once it disappeared off radar, the BBC’s Jonah Fisher in Perth reports.<\/p>\n

A relatively small change in altitude could affect both the plane’s speed and fuel consumption – and over the course of seven hours dramatically alter the location of any crash site, our correspondent adds.<\/p>\n

It is now more than three weeks since flight MH370 disappeared. Malaysian authorities say that based on satellite data they have concluded that it crashed into the southern Indian Ocean.<\/p>\n

However, many relatives of the passengers on board have demanded proof that the plane has crashed, and expressed anger at what they perceive as a lack of information from the Malaysian authorities.<\/p>\n

Dozens of relatives of some of the 153 missing Chinese passengers have travelled to Kuala Lumpur in their search for answers.<\/p>\n
