Two years on from the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, the UN's aviation agency announced new requirements in a bid to avoid a repeat of a mystery that has perplexed investigators, AFP reports.
On the somber anniversary, the council of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in Montreal on Tuesday adopted new measures that require aircraft to have tracking devices that can transmit location information at least once a minute when in trouble, effectively providing real-time updates.
Other new measures, also brought in in response to the MH370 mystery, include extending the duration of cockpit voice recordings to 25 hours, considerably longer than the current norm.
