MH370 The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) released a Technical Examination Report today which has definitively said debris found in Mozambique originated from the lost Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, China's Xinhua news agency reports.

Australia's Transport Minister Darren Chester said stenciling of key words and numbers fully matched the font used by Malaysia Airlines, and was not the same one used by the Boeing factory when delivering aircraft.

He said this "link" proved that both pieces, one from the horizontal stabiliser and the other from the wing, were from the missing Boeing 777, which went missing on March 8, 2014, with 239 people on board.

"I welcome the Technical Examination Report released by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau confirming the debris almost certainly originated from MH370," Chester said in a statement released today.

"Stenciling on both parts of debris provided investigators with evidence of the link. The font and colour of a number stenciled on the first part conforms to that developed and used by Malaysia Airlines.

"The second part contained the words 'No Step' with stenciling consistent with that used by Malaysia Airlines and a fastener attached to the part provided evidence linking the part to the aircraft's production line.

"I thank the team from ATSB, Geoscience Australia, Boeing and the Australian National University for their work."

Chester said the search for the missing jetliner would continue, and it was once again ready to search the final 20,000 square kilometres in the search area.

MH370 was a scheduled passenger flight from Kuala Lumpur bound for Beijing.
