Inmarsat TRAKSAT equipment was installed on the "missing" MH370 ! - inmarsat.com Malaysia Airlines never activated the tracking service because Inmarsat would have charged $15.60 per flight. We only know what we do about the missing flight MH370 because of the hourly "complementary pings" Inmarsat provides all customers. - en.wikipedia.org Sad. . Since January 2020 the FAA has required all aircraft flying in US airspace to have one of the newer ADS-B GPS systems installed, but this American rule does not apply to flights like the Malaysian Airlines from Malaysia to Beijing. We don't need new GPS satellite systems, airlines simply need to subscribe or add the newer ADS-B. The price could be a penny instead of $15.60 but, without a law requiring its use, many cheap airlines simply won't pay for it. Of course Malasian Airlines was the first subscriber to ADS-B because of the adverse publicity caused by their prior 'not giving a shit'. How could they not?
