Debris found on the Indian Ocean island of Reunion is to be transported to France to find out whether it is from the missing airliner MH370, Malaysia's prime minister has said, reports the BBC.
Initial reports suggest the two-metre long wreckage is very likely to be from a Boeing 777, Najib Razak said.
Malaysia Airlines' flight MH370 is the only Boeing 777 to have disappeared over an ocean.
There were 239 people on board when the plane went missing in March 2014.
Mr Najib said French authorities were taking the debris to the southern French city of Toulouse - the site of the nearest office of the French body responsible for air accident investigations (the BEA) - to verify it as quickly as possible.
A Malaysian team of investigators and representatives from the government and the airline was travelling to Toulouse, and a second team to the site of the find on Reunion, he said.
Najib Razak said the location was "consistent with the drift analysis provided to the Malaysian investigation team".
"As soon as we have more information or any verification we will make it public...
"I promise the families of those lost that whatever happens, we will not give up."
