AS search efforts for MH370 intensified yesterday, a US pilots’ association called for existing satellite technology to be made mandatory, so controllers can track jets.
Some airlines use satellite-based voice and text communications, but these are not mandatory and may require a subscription that Malaysia Airlines had not signed up for, according to officials investigating the loss of MH370.
“In this day and age, it is unacceptable that the location of the aircraft is unknown,” the Air Line Pilots Association said.
