After over two years, a large debris of the ill-fated Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 was discovered off the coast of Tanzania, according to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau.
The bureau made the confirmation after the Italian part manufacturer asserted that the recovered parts belong to the missing plane.
The fragment was part of the inboard section of the right and outboard flap of the plane bearing date stamp, Boeing part numbers and an "OL" numbers that were all unique to the manufacturer.
The debris was recovered last June off Pemba Island, Tanzania.
Investigators believed that the recent development will shed light to the fate of the missing plane that was carrying 239 people when it went missing in March 2014. The plane was on its way to Beijing, China from Kuala Lumpur.
"At the time of writing, the flap section was being examined for any evidence of interaction with mechanisms, supports and surrounding components (such as the flaperon, which abuts the inboard end of the outboard flap) that may indicate the state of flap operation at the time of separation from the wing," revealed the report of the Australian investigating team as quoted by the BBC News.
Earlier, HNGN News and Global Headlines reported that the search teams have scaled around 110,000 sq.km. in search for the missing plane with over 20 nations embarking the search operations.
In the course of the investigation, bits of debris have been sighted in South Africa, Mozambique and Madagascar.
