The Australian Government has confirmed that debris recovered from Mozambique is highly likely to have come from MH370.
The Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Darren Chester advised today the examination of the two pieces of debris had been completed.
The Malaysian investigation team for MH370 found that both pieces of debris are consistent with the panels of a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 aircraft.
"The analysis concluded the debris is almost certainly from MH370," Mr Chester said.
"That such debris was found on the east coast of Africa is consistent with drift modelling done by CSIRO and further affirms our search efforts in the southern Indian Ocean.
"I would like to acknowledge the work undertaken by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, Geoscience Australia, Boeing and the Australian National University, who assisted the Malaysian investigation team with their examination of the debris.
"The search for MH370 continues. There are 25,000 square kilometres of underwater search area still to be surveyed. We are focused on completing this task and remain hopeful the aircraft will be found."
