The families of those aboard the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 say they require more details about the aircraft for a "full closure", media reports said on Thursday.
"Now I want to know where the main body of the plane is so that we can take out the passengers and get the black box so we can know what happened. Only that, for us, will be full closure," The Malaysian Star quoted Jacquita Gonzales, wife of MH370 chief steward Patrick Gomes as saying.
Gonzales and some other next of kin in Kuala Lumpur were reacting to Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak's announcement earlier in the day that a flaperon -- wing component -- which was discovered on July 29, has been conclusively confirmed as from MH370 -- the Bejing-bound flight from Kuala Lumpur which vanished without a trace on March 8, 2014 with 239 people onboard.
The statements by the family members came as Razak confirmed that the flaperon wreckage found on Reunion Island was from the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
"We do not want to hear guarantees of 99 percent likelihood from certain authorities," CNN quoted Chinese families as saying.
"We need confirmation of 100 percent certainty."

"I was left somewhat confused and, frankly, a little angry and dismayed," K.S. Narendran, whose wife was one of the passengers, was quoted as saying.
Authorities announced their conclusions, Narendran said, without detailing their findings.
"I didn't hear facts. I didn't hear the basics. I heard nothing," he said, adding: "And so it leaves me wondering whether there is a foregone conclusion and everyone is racing for the finish."
Malaysia Airlines sent a message to the victims' families saying a "major announcement" that the flaperon was from the missing plane was imminent.
However, Paris deputy prosecutor Serge Mackowiak said there were "very strong presumptions" that the debris were from the Malaysian plane but further tests would need to be carried out to confirm it.
The analysis of the flaperon which started on Wednesday, will continue at a specialised military lab near Toulouse, in France.
The remnants of a suitcase that were found near the flaperon on Reunion Island are being sent to a different French lab for examination, Mackowiak added.
