“In a world where our every move seems to be tracked, there is disbelief both that an aircraft could simply disappear and that the ‘black box’ is so difficult to recover,” [IATA Chief Executive, Tony] Tyler said. “Air France 447 brought similar issues to light a few years ago and some progress was made. That must be accelerated. We cannot let another aircraft simply disappear.”
He also said governments need to review and improve their policies for vetting the passenger information that airlines are required to submit before flights, a response to the discovery that two passengers aboard the vanished jet had used fake passports. “It costs the airlines millions of dollars every year to provide (passenger data) to some 60 governments,” he said. ”I’ve often wondered whether they were using it.”
