By Victoria Bryan and Siva Govindasamy DOHA (Reuters) – Mystified by the loss of Malaysian jetliner MH370, some airlines will not wait for an industrywide solution to keeping track of their aircraft flights in real time, provided products are offered at the right price, industry executives said on Monday. The disappearance of Malaysian Airline Systems' flight MH370 almost three months ago has prompted calls for real-time tracking of planes and even continuous streaming of black box data. "It must not happen again," Tony Tyler, director general of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) said at its annual meeting in Doha on Monday. IATA, which brings together over 200 airlines accounting for 84 percent of the world's air traffic, is planning to put aircraft tracking proposals to the UN's International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in September, which in turn says a standard could be in place in two to three years.
