Friday`s search for the missing Malaysian airliner ended without any sightings of debris in the southern Indian Ocean.
According to BBC the operation will continue on Saturday as extra vessels are expected to join in the search.
Friday saw five aircraft take part in the search for flight MH370 which disappeared on March 8 with 23 passengers on board.
Experts have described the search and rescue mission as treacherous due to the bad weather.
An Australian vessel is expected to reach the search area by Saturday.
China, Japan and the United Kingdom are other countries deploying assets according to Malaysian Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein..
A French delegation was also assisting “with their considerable experience and expertise” he added.
The team “includes a man who led the investigation into the Air France (Flight) 447 crash”, Mr Hussein said.
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott earlier described the search as “a gut-wrenching business for so many people, not least those who are charged with keeping their citizens safe”.
“It’s about the most inaccessible spot that you can imagine on the face of the earth, but if there is anything down there, we will find it,” said Mr Abbott, who is currently visiting Papua New Guinea.
“We owe it to the families of those people (on board) to do no less.”
Flight MH370 was flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing when it disappeared from the radar and lost contact with air traffic controllers.
It is believed the flight was intentionally diverted.
