Report: UN agency delays plane tracking proposal

The United Nations agency that oversees civil aviation may delay a plan to require that airlines track the location of their planes by two years, to 2018, according to an internal report seen by Reuters.

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) had proposed that by November 2016, all large aircraft carrying passengers report their position at least once every 15 minutes, part of a broader plan meant to avoid a repeat of the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370.
