Airline group to recommend plane tracking options

Doha: An organization representing airlines worldwide will offer a list of recommendations in September to improve the tracking of aircraft after the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, the group's director said today.
Tony Tyler made the comments to industry officials and airline CEOs at the annual meeting of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in Doha, just three months after the disappearance of the Malaysian plane with 239 people aboard.
The IATA represents 240 airlines carrying 84 percent of all passengers and cargo worldwide.
"Discussions about real-time tracking and airline safety feature in many sessions of the IATA meeting, held this year in the Gulf-Arab nation of Qatar. That's because passengers and even experts continue to wonder how an aircraft can just disappear without anyone knowing what went wrong," Tyler said.
