Australian Safety Transport Bureau (ATSB) said it has received a wing part suspected to be from the missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370.
The wing part found on Pemba Island off the coast of Tanzania and is currently being examined by experts from Malaysia and Australia at the laboratories of the ATSB in Canberra.
The large piece of what is likely to be a wing flap was found by locals on Pemba Island on 23 June 2016.
Malaysia and Australia have worked with Tanzanian officials to assume responsibility for the wing flap.
Technical specialists from the ATSB are working with Malaysian investigators to determine if it is from the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777, MH370.
To date, the ATSB has examined four pieces of debris on behalf of Malaysia and determined them to be almost certainly from MH370. This is in addition to the flaperon found on La Reunion Island on 29 July 2015 and positively identified by French officials as originating from flight MH370.
Under water search of more than 110,000 square kilometres of the 120,000 square kilometre search zone in the southern Indian Ocean has been completed.
The Boeing 777 operated Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared on 8 March 2014 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 passengers and crew on board.
