(Bloomberg) — The jet part found on Reunion island belonged to Malaysia Airlines' missing Flight 370, the Paris prosecutors' office said, citing numbers on the part.
One of the three numbers identified corresponds to the serial number of the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777, the prosecutors' office said in an e-mailed statement.
Proving a connection to Flight 370 is an important symbolic first step in solving the mystery of what happened to the flight and raises hopes other debris may surface almost 18 months after the jet vanished with 239 people on board.
