"As we search the remaining 30,000 square kilometer zone in the days and months ahead, Australia, Malaysia and the People's Republic of China remain hopeful the aircraft will be found."
A piece of debris, a flaperon, that washed ashore on Reunion Island last year is the only confirmed proof that the plane crash landed.
Last week, two more potential parts of the plane's wreckage were also uncovered. The first item was located off the coast of the east African nation of Mozambique, and another metallic, plane-like structure was again picked on a Reunion Island beach. Both are yet to be confirmed by aviation investigators.
The group tasked with the Australian search for MH370, the Joint Agency Coordination Centre (JACC), said it was still working on a plan to transfer the Mozambique discovery to its Australian office.
"Officials from Australia, Malaysia and Mozambique are currently considering arrangements for the transfer of the debris to Australia. An estimated time of arrival is not known," JACC spokesman Scott Mashford said on Tuesday.
"The JACC is aware of reports of further debris being found on La Reunion.
"The Malaysian Government has responsibility for the investigation into the disappearance of MH370 and has procedures in place to examine suspected debris. We are awaiting the outcome of their examination."
But speaking to Melbourne radio on Tuesday, Australian airline captain Byron Bailey reaffirmed his belief that the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) was going about the search the wrong way.
The aviation expert said the group needed to totally re-explore the "rogue pilot" theory, the idea that the flight was deliberately hijacked.
The ATSB has totally rejected that theory instead basing its entire search on the "ghost flight" model, which proposes that the pilots became unconscious and the plane eventually lost attitude after running out of fuel.
On Tuesday, Malaysian Prime Minster Najib Razak said that if the Australian search yielded no results, his government would meet with Australian and Chinese officials to "determine the way forward."
