The piece, an outboard flap, will be examined further to see if it can yield any insight to the circumstances surrounding the aircraft that vanished with 239 people on board during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, on March 8, 2014.

Officials at the Australian Transport Safety Bureau in Canberra had examined the debris in July, to determine if it belong to the Malaysian plane.
Earlier this month, three pieces of aircraft found washed off the coast of Mozambique, were suspected to belong to the ill-fated plane.
