The geography
behind the search.
A geographic guide to the flight’s departure, planned destination, debris recoveries, and the broader search region.
Schematic context, not an operational search map.
Recovery markers are approximate. The planned route is schematic, and the shaded ocean region is broad context only. No line or marker identifies a confirmed crash site. For actual survey coverage and satellite arcs, use the official maps linked below.
Map tiles require an internet connection. Source links and the location guide below remain available.
Location guide
Réunion Island
A flaperon was found here in July 2015. The recovery location is not the location where it entered the water.
Pemba Island, Tanzania
A right outboard wing-flap section was recovered here in 2016. Ocean drift separates recovery geography from an aircraft’s final location.
