AVIATION leaders will try to secure a mandate to implement new safety standards when they meet this week after a string of high-profile accidents around the world in 2014 made it the deadliest year for commercial airlines in almost a decade.
Efforts to adopt new standards for global plane tracking and cooperation on the risks of flying over conflict zones will dominate the meeting on safety in Montreal from Feb 2-5, weeks ahead of the anniversary of the disappearance of flight MH370, the Malaysia Airlines (MAS) jet with 239 people on board.
