The Malaysian government has been handed new ocean debris drift analysis that shows where the missing Malaysia Airlines MH370 B777 jet might lie.
A A$200 million search for the aircraft, which went missing in March 2014 with 239 people on board, was suspended after 120,000 sq km of the Indian Ocean off Western Australia was searched without success.
The new analysis suggests the missing jet may be in a 25,000 sq km zone north of the original search area.
Dr David Griffin, a principal research scientist at Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) said the report featured data and analysis from ocean testing of an actual Boeing 777 flaperon cut down to match one from MH370 found on Reunion island off the coast of Africa in 2015, rather than the wood and steel models used in a previous test.
"We found an actual flaperon goes (drifts) about 20 degrees to the left, and faster than the replicas, as we thought it might," said Griffin. 

"The arrival of MH370’s flaperon at La Reunion in July 2015 now makes perfect sense."
Australian minister for Infrastructure and Transport Darren Chester said it was up to Malaysia to decide any next steps in its ongoing investigation into the disappearance of the aircraft.
“Malaysia is the lead investigator and any future requests in relation to searching for MH370 would be considered by Australia at that time," Chester said.
