Flight MH370 disappeared on March 8, 2014, en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board, most of them were Chinese nationals.

A search in South Indian Ocean, where the flight presumably ended its journey, was yet to find the flight's wreckage.

A wing part called flaperon was discovered in the French overseas territory of re-union Island in the Indian Ocean in July 2015 and was determined to have been a part of the Boeing 777.
