Nearly a year has passed since Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 vanished while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. The missing plane that had 239 passengers including crew members is one of the most confusing mysteries of modern times.

Over the year, regulators and airlines were seen discussing how much flight tracking was necessary to avoid repeating such events. According to reports, now a plan has been moving forward that will require airlines to know about their planes' positions after every 15 minutes. The reports stated that the plan could be implemented by the end of 2016.

The new plan could help airlines to know position of their jets after a few minutes, but still the plan is questionable and it doesn't assure that it would prevent loss like Flight 370. But, it will allow airlines and regulators to make quick

recovery of a missing plane. It is almost a year and the hunt for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is still on. In an age where a missing phone can be tracked, something the size of a Boeing 777 is still missing.

Todd Curtis, director of Airsafe. com Foundation and a former Boeing safety engineer, said, "The public's perception of what's acceptable has changed radically. The industry's perception of what's acceptable is not changing as quickly".

According to airlines and regulators, about 90,000 flights fly around the world daily and it would be too expensive to track all those flights after every few minutes. The procedure could have limited benefits. As per the airline industry, Flight 370 was an exceptional case and not going to happen again. If airlines of the developing nations spend some money to upgrade their jets, they would prevent fatalities in near future.

Last month, the International Civil Aviation Organization outlined the new tracking requirements. According to the reports, there could be a formal vote on the rules by November. Air traffic regulators of every country will have to implement those rules.
