Wreckage was found overnight on a La Reunion beach, assumed to be part of a plane’s wing, according to 9 News.
Avation experts have speculated on a link between the found debris and MH370, as it could also belong to a Boeing 777, the same aircraft as the lost Malaysian Airlines flight. French aviation expert Xavier Tytelman told the Telegraph, “We [Tytelman and colleagues] all think it is likely that the wing is that of a Boeing 777 – the same plane as MH370.”
The location of the wreckage is far from previous MH370 searches – the biggest being an Australian-led operation in the Indian Ocean, over a 50,000 kilometre area.
A formal investigation of the newly-found wreckage has begun.
