A piece of debris found in Mozambique arrived in Malaysia on Thursday for initial investigations into whether it came from missing flight MH370 before being taken to Australia for deeper analysis, officials said. Department of Civil Aviation chief Azharuddin Abdul Rahman said that the one-metre long object was in Malaysia. He declined to provide further details but Malaysia's transport minister told local media it would be passed along to Australia, which is leading a huge Indian Ocean search for the missing aircraft. "We will send it to Australia for further examinations," Liow Tiong Lai was quoted as saying. Liow has previously said there is a "high probability" the piece of debris came from a Boeing 777. The debris could provide fresh clues into the mystery of the Malaysia Airlines flight, a Boeing 777.<br/>

American Airlines plans to add nonstop service between Los Angeles and Hong Kong, the carrier announced this week. The service would begin Sept. 7, with American flying one daily round-trip flight on Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. The route is contingent on regulatory approval. “We announced new domestic Los Angeles routes at the end of January, and customers let us know they wanted more great service to even more destinations,” said Andrew Nocella, American’s chief marketing officer. “This route connects customers in Los Angeles with one of the world’s most important business markets and provides convenient connections to important business and leisure destinations across the Pacific.” Cathay Pacific, a oneworld partner of American, also flies nonstop between L.A. and Hong Kong.<br/>
