Kuala Lumpur: Experts have confirmed that the two pieces of debris discovered in South Africa and the Mauritian Island of Rodrigues are nearly certainly from the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.

“We won’t the shift the search area as this was confirmed by our experts based the drift patterns of the recovered debris”.

Both pieces were sent to Canberra for analysis, following a request from the Malaysian government, and were handled in accordance with ICAO practice, as per two other pieces that the ATSB previously identified. The piece had rivet holes along the edge and the number 676EB stamped on it, convincing him he had found a piece of an aircraft. They plan to wrap up the search in the current area in the next few weeks.

Most of the passengers on the plane were Chinese, and many of their families have refused to give up hope that they could somehow still be alive despite the discoveries of debris.

The search for the flight MH370 still continues.

Local archaeologist Neels Kruger found the Rolls Royce debris near Mossel Bay, a small town in Western Cape province, South Africa, in March.

In July 2015, a flaperon belonging to Flight MH370 turned up on the French-controlled Réunion Island in the Indian Ocean.

“Rayani Air has supposedly come up with a turnaround plan, and the (DCA) director-general (Datuk Azharuddin Abdul Rahman) has promised me the report as soon as possible…within this week”.

The latest items were discovered in South Africa and Rodrigues Island, off Mauritius.

Given this, it concluded that “part no. 3 was a Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 engine cowling segment, nearly certainly from the aircraft registered 9M-MRO”, which operated as MH370.
