    Malaysia Airlines said on Thursday (July 30) it was premature to speculate on the origin of aircraft debris that had washed up on La Reunion island in the southern Indian Oceast east of Madagascar.
    No trace has been found of MH370, a Boeing 777, which disappeared in March last year carrying 239 passengers and crew from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, in what has become one of the greatest mysteries in aviation history.
    The statement said Malaysia Airlines was working with authorities to determine the origin of the debris.
    The aircraft carrying 239 passengers and crew disappeared on March 8 last year, shortly after taking off from the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur.
    Months of searches have failed to turn up any trace.
    On January 29, Abdul Rahman, the Director-General of Malaysia's Department of Civil Aviation, said in a televised announcement that missing flight MH370 was 'an accident', and that all passengers and crew on board the flight were presumed to have lost their lives.
    This cleared the way for the airline to pay compensation to victims' relatives.
    Some of the family members of those on board the missing flight were reluctant to believe the flight's disappearance was simply an accident, arguing there was insufficient evidence to substantiate the claim.
    Malaysia, along with China and Australia, has continued the search for the missing plane in the southern Indian Ocean, off the coast of Perth, Australia.
    The undersea search has covered almost a third of its target area, Malaysian authorities said in February, adding that the undersea search of a 60,000 square km (23,000 square miles) area is expected to be completed by May.
    Malaysia Airlines has suffered enormously since the disaster, leading to a drastic restructuring program that was announced in August last year.
    The airline's troubles had significantly worsened on July 17 when another jet, Flight MH17, was shot down over Ukraine, killing all 298 people on board.
    The country's civil aviation authorities plan to release an interim report on the investigation on March 7, a day before the first anniversary of the flight's disappearance.
