Airlines are to begin testing a tracking system that will ping flights every 15 minutes, Tony Tyler, ceo of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) says.

The tests will be conducted 'somewhere in the Asia-Pacific region' and outcomes should lead to a set of rules IATA will propose to governments and transportation industries around the world.

"How it will work will be very much influenced by this implementation initiative that's going on," Tyler said.
