Decade After MH370, Key Aircraft-Tracking Rule Faces Delays

Despite advancements, the aviation industry struggles to implement crucial safety measures, with the one-minute tracking rule now set for 2025.

A decade after the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, the aviation industry still struggles with implementing a key aircraft-tracking tool.
The one-minute tracking rule, proposed to prevent similar disappearances, has been delayed twice and is now set to take effect in January 2025.
Few planes currently comply with the International Civil Aviation Organization's requirements for the one-minute tracking standard.
The delay in implementing the tracking rule highlights the challenges of bureaucracy, financial pressure, and debates over cockpit control.
Despite advancements in tracking technology, thousands of older planes remain without the capability deemed crucial after MH370 vanished.
