Officials of Malaysian Airlines are also supporting the position of ATSB on the recent suggestion of the US physical geophysical firm.
They believe that the ATSB did not mistake rocks for aircraft debris of the missing passenger plane and they are still consistent with the position that the Indian Ocean seabed is not the final resting spot for the missing jet.
ATSB has undertaken an underwater search previously on the Indian Ocean which is regarded as the most expensive ever in aviation history, but it has turned up nothing at all.
Thus far, the only physical evidence of the Boeing 777 was found late in July, with a plane part called a flaperon, identified to be belonging to the Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 after drifting ashore on the island of Reunion, southwest of the Maldives in Africa.
Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared on March 8 last year while flying from Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia to Beijing in China laden with 227 passengers and 12 crew on board.
Since the discovery of the supposed wing part of the missing Flight MH370, more debris has started washing ashore at Reunion Island, as if to reveal more clues to the whereabouts of the plane.
