MH370 search on Reunion island to end Monday

August 15, 2015 02:42

Active air and sea searches for fragments of doomed Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 off Reunion island will stop on Monday after just over a week, the local authorities said. Local official Dominique Sorain said that if no objects were found by next Monday "we will move to a phase of heightened surveillance".

"No object has been found in the sea that could belong to an airplane," Sorain told reporters Friday, adding however that "a certain amount of debris" had been found on land. This has been handed over to investigators but there is nothing the size of the Boeing 777 wing part found on Reunion last month that Malaysian authorities have said comes from MH370.
