SITA eyes India with blackbox data streaming from flights

Brussels: Airlines IT solutions giant SITA today said it will soon test streaming of data from blackboxes to help gather crucial information about movement of planes, in the wake of the mysterious disappearance of a Malaysian plane and deliberate crashing of a Germanwings aircraft.

SITA, which has significant presence in India, also hopes to work with Indian carriers for flight tracking system besides incorporating the new "simple" solution.

The streaming of data from blackboxes, expected to be tested as early as June itself, comes amid rising concerns about safety of flights.
The ill-fated Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared under mysterious circumstances last year with 239 people on board and massive efforts to trace the Boeing 777 have yielded no success so far.
