Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said on Monday that new analysis of satellite data suggested Flight MH370 went down in the Southern Indian Ocean and there was no hope for survivors.
New satellite analysis from Britain had shown that Flight MH370, with 239 people on board, was last seen in the middle of the Indian Ocean west of Perth, Australia, he said in a statement.
"This is a remote location, far from any possible landing sites," Razak said.
The confirmation is possibly solely based on the tracking data, supplied by Inmarsat, and not from sightings of debris, according to BBC News.
Meanwhile, Australian Maritime Safety Authority has reported a Australian Air Force P-3 Orion has located a possible MH370 debris and Australian Navy ship HMAS Success is on scene and is attempting to locate and recover these objects.
The objects were spotted in the search area about 2500 kilometres southwest of Perth.
The crew on board the Orion reported seeing two objects, the first a grey or green circular object and the second an orange rectangular object. These are separate to the objects reported earlier today by a Chinese search aircraft.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft in flight to Beijing, carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew, disappeared on March 8, about an hour after taking off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport at 12:41 midnight. The plane was supposed to land in Beijing at 6:30 am the same day.
