A technical team will be deployed by Boeing to support the MH370 investigation and the search for the missing plane belonging to its 777-200 plane model.

The multinational aircraft manufacturing corporation said this follows the request of investigation authorities probing into the case after the discovery of a two-metre long piece of wreckage on Reunion Island in France, which seemed to be part of an aircraft wing.

"At the request of civil aviation investigating authorities, Boeing will dispatch a technical team to assist in analysing the part found on Reunion Island," Boeing Commercial Airplanes spokesman told Astro AWANI in an email when asked to verify about the deployment.

Earlier, Boeing pledged its commitment and to remain steadfast in MH370 investigations and said they will continue to share their technical expertise and analysis.

The two-metre-long flaperon washed up on the French Indian Ocean island of La Reunion on Wednesday, raised some speculation that it could be part of the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.

The flaperon found on the island was expected to arrive in mainland France early Saturday for investigation and be transported to the southern city of Toulouse for investigators to examine in the hope of proving the wreckage came from the ill-fated MH370.

If analysis of the debris is confirmed, the discovery would mark the first breakthrough in a case that has baffled aviation experts since the mysterious disappearance 16 months ago with 239 people on board.

Flight MH370 vanished from the radar at about midnight on March 8 last year while en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew members.
