Saint-Denis, Reunion Island (Antara Bali/Xinhua-OANA) - Plane carrying the probable MH 370 debris took off from Roland Garros International Airport of Reunion Island Friday night, heading to Toulouse, France for a further analysis.
The wreckage piece was seen to be well packed in a big box in the airport, and carried into the flight AF 671 of Air France. The flight took off at 9:11p.m. local time Friday, and will arrive 6: 20 a.m. Saturday morning in Pairs.
The Reunion officials refused to give any further details of the debris transferring.
French newspaper Le Figaro said the debris will be transferred to Toulouse to be analysed by the General Directorate of Armaments (DGA).
The wreckage piece will be studied by the laboratory specializing in "investigations after accidents," said Le Figaro.
According to earlier reports, the debris should be quickly identified because each piece is numbered in an airplane.
The plane wreckage was found on the island on Wednesday, announced the Island prefecture on Thursday, saying it's too early to draw conclusion.
"An aircraft debris was found yesterday morning on the coast near the town of Saint-Andre in Reunion. At this stage, the origin of the debris is not identified. No hypothesis can not be excluded, including being from of a Boeing 777," it said in a statement on Thursday.
The flight MH 370, a Boeing 777-200, was reported missing en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014, with a total of 239 passengers on board, most of them Chinese.
Despite a massive surface and underwater search, the plane has not been found and become one of the biggest mysteries in the aviation history. (WDY)
