Australian officials co-ordinating the search for the missing Malaysian plane have played down a company’s claim it has identified possible debris.
Australia-based marine survey company GeoResonance said on Tuesday it might have located the wreckage of a plane.
But the agency leading the search said the area was not consistent with satellite data showing MH370’s likely flight path.
MH370 went missing on 8 March as it flew from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Carrying 239 people, it disappeared off radar over the South China Sea. Based on satellite data, investigators believe it ended its journey in the sea far off the Australian city of Perth.
It is still not known why the plane went so far off course. Finding the “black box” flight recorders is seen as key to explaining what happened.
