CEO of FedEx, Frederick Smith, said Thursday that airlines will move quickly to better track aircraft over the ocean after the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. Smith told the International Aviation Club that maintenance and navigational equipment aboard most airliners could be adapted to keep track of planes, and it would also reduce gaps between planes, making flights more efficient and saving money on fuel.
