KUALA LUMPUR, March 8 — Malaysia’s chief investigator on the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, Datuk Kok Soo Chon said today there are no news leads in the hunt for the jetliner amid recent buzz over two new flotsams found off eastern Africa.

In a live broadcast on national TV marking the second anniversary of the plane’s inexplicable disappearance along with all 239 people aboard, he said the search team is now finalising their “findings” as well as putting together aviation safety recommendations that stemmed from the MH370 incident.

“At this time, the team is continuing to work towards finalising its analysis, findings/conclusions and safety recommendations on eight relevant areas associated with the disappearance of flight MH370 based on available information.

“New information that may become available before the completion of the final report may alter these analysis, findings/ conclusions and safety recommendations,” he added.

He added, that despite the discovery of a “flaperon” piece last July, no other MH370 wreckage has been found despite ongoing search efforts.

“To-date, the MH370 wreckage has still not been found despite the continuing search in the South Indian Ocean.

“However, a flaperon was recovered in the French island of Réunion on 29 July 2015 and was determined to have been a part of the MH370 aircraft,” Kok said in a live telecast on RTM1.

Flight MH370 disappeared from radar coverage in the predawn hours exactly two years ago today, launching what eventually became the largest international search operation that is now centred in a remote area of the southern Indian Ocean.

The eight areas being reviewed include among others the “Diversion from Filed Flight Plan Route”, “Air Traffic Services Operations”, and “Satellite Communications”.

Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) head Martin Dolan reportedly said yesterday that MH370 will “very likely” be found by July as the global search team he heads focuses its underwater hunt on the last 120,000 square kilometre stretch of the Indian Ocean.

Dolan’s optimism is based on the strength of the analysis of the jumbo jet’s last satellite communications, which he said the ATSB sometimes has difficulty to get across to the man-on-the-street due to the technical language.

Last week, another metal piece with the words “No Step” washed up on Mozambique, drawing speculation that it is also from the same plane. Investigators are still examining the flotsam.

If verified, the pieces would indicate the authorities are searching in the right place.

The Beijing-bound flight MH370 with 239 passengers and crew on board went missing in the early morning of March 8, 2014, after departing from Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
