MH370: Malaysia is updated every few hours by Australia

"This is a big international effort and we are also communicating with all of the governments that are now involved in it," he added.

Truss said this during a press conference held at the Royal Australian Air Force Base Pearce after being briefed of the ongoing process by the Commander of the Task Unit, Captain Craig Heap.

"In fact, there are several Malaysian officials who are now in Australia working together with us," said Captain Heap.

He added that the Chinese government is also sending over two aircrafts to aid in the search efforts on Sunday in the Indian Ocean.

They will be complementing the six aircrafts that left RAAF Base Pearce on Saturday.

One RAAF P3 Orion departed at 6am, along with a second one at 8am. A New Zealand P3 Orion departed at 10am, while another RAAF aircraft departed at 12pm. Two ultra long range commercial jets have also joined the search today.

Truss and Captain Heap both concurred that the objects found could now have drifted further away from the initial spot it was photographed in due to the ocean tide, but with Saturday's clear weather, chances are quite high.

"Although the objects were seen via satellite, we still require personnel to scour the area manually while in the aircrafts. The good weather today helps," said Truss.

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbot had contacted Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak on Thursday informing him of satellite images taken in the Indian Ocean had revealed two objects that could be part of the missing Malaysia Airlines MH370 flight.

MH370 mysteriously vanished on 8 March and not a trace of it has been found along with the 239 people on board.
