ICAO expects airlines to adopt the 15-minute global flight reporting standard by November 2016, according to secretary-general Raymond Benjamin. Starting April 2, ICAO will also make available an interim web portal that provides information on conflict zones. The measures are in response to the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 a year ago, and the missile shootdown of MH17 four months later.
