KUALA LUMPUR: A part number on aircraft wreckage recovered in the Indian Ocean confirms it came from a Boeing 777, a Malaysian official said Friday, expressing confidence that the mystery of Flight MH370 was close to being solved.
"From the part number, it is confirmed that it is from a Boeing 777 aircraft. This information is from MAS (Malaysia Airlines). They have informed me," deputy transport minister Abdul Aziz Kaprawi told AFP.
The wing component found on the French island of La Reunion bears the part number "657 BB", according to photos of the debris.
AFP was not immediately available to reach Malaysia Airlines for comment.
Abdul Aziz's remarks are the latest by officials involved in the hunt for MH370 to indicate the increasingly likelihood that the piece of wreckage came from the missing Malaysia Airlines flight, a Boeing 777 aircraft.

Nice graphic. The roaring 40’s are lit up like a Christmas tree.
“MH 370 is the only 777 missing”
Let’s hope that Jerry Lundegaard isn’t involved

From what that current map shows, Flight MH370 was flying on the wrong course, away from China. I think it was a suicide run. “Allahu Akbar!” might be something they would find on the Flight Cabin Recorder.
I thought the same. Now I am thinking a suicide run. Notice on the map that La Reunion Island is in a different direction from its stopover in Beijing. I am hoping they recover the voice recorder intact.
If debris is washing ashore on that tiny island, it’s probably washing ashore on Madagascar, perhaps even the African coast.
