Malaysia has sent a team to the French island of Reunion, in the western Indian Ocean, to investigate whether wreckage found there could be from the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 plane which disappeared last year.
The Malaysian transport minister confirmed that the investigation team had been dispatched late on Wednesday.
Malaysia Airlines said in a statement on Thursday that it was "too premature for the airline to speculate the origin of the flaperon" found washed up on Reunion Island.
"With regards to the reports of the discovery of an aircraft flaperon at Reunion Island, Malaysia Airlines is working with the relevant authorities to confirm the matter," the statement said.
France's air crash investigation agency (BEA) said earlier on Wednesday that it was studying the piece of plane debris, but also added that it was too early to say if it came from MH370.
