Kuala Lumpur (Antara Bali/OANANews) - The search for more pieces of wreckage of the Malaysia Airlines MH370 aircraft which vanished in March last year, resumed on France's Reunion Island Sunday.
This followed a suspension of the search since Friday due to rough weather, reports the Agence France-Presse (AFP).
It said a search plane circled overhead while foot patrols combed the eastern coastline of the island.
"Navy units and the police will be mobilised only if debris is found at sea," the news agency quoted the local government office in a statement.
According to AFP, the search party was using a small military transport plane in the hunt (for debris), and also had three police and navy helicopters and three boats at its disposal.
It also reported that searches were being carried out on the nearby island of Mauritius.
Early Thursday morning, Prime Minister Najib Razak announced that the aircraft's flaperon found on Reunion Island was from Flight MH370.
It was reported that a maintenance record seal on the flaperon provided conclusive proof the part was from MH370.
Flight MH370 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing disappeared from the radar on March 8, last year with 239 passengers and crew. (WDY)
