There is growing belief from within the aviation community that debris found on Reunion Island, east of Madagascar, does belong to missing flight MH370.
The battered remnants of a suitcase have now been found near where airline debris was discovered.
The wing pieces have been sent to France for examination, after a US official confirmed the debris came from a Boeing 777.
Airlineratings.com editor Geoffery Thomas told Paul Henry if the items do prove to be from MH370, it will help to dispel a number of rumours about what happened.
"[It will] put to bed all the rumours of it being taken to Afghanistan or Russia, or hidden away in a jungle somewhere… but still the conspiracy theories will persist," he says.
"Certainly we now have a fragment of it, maybe we have a suitcase from a passenger, but we still have to find it, and when we do find it we have to find out why it ended up where it did."
