Wreckage from Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 arrived in the Netherlands five months after the plane was blown out of the sky over the Ukraine.
Reuters reported that convoys carrying debris from the aircraft arrived at a Dutch air force base on Tuesday.
The Boeing 777 will be reconstructed so Dutch authorities can determine exactly how the plane was brought down.
As previously reported, the international passenger flight departed from Amsterdam and was headed to Kuala Lumpur on July 17. It was brought down over a territory controlled by pro-Russian separatists. All 283 passengers and 15 crew members on board died.
NEWS.com.au noted that Dutch authorities said family of those killed on board the flight were allowed into the Gilze-Rijen base for the arrival.
“The arrival of the wreckage at the air force base will not be of a ceremonial character and those attending will not be permitted to be present during the opening or unloading of the trucks,” the Dutch Safety Board said.
The plane is believed to have been shot down by surface-to-air missiles.
A preliminary report released in September, said the aircraft broke up after sustaining structural damage from objects hitting it from the outside.
