Malaysia Airlines is primarily an airline company, but it has a notable role in adopting space-based technologies for aircraft tracking. It was the first airline to use a space-based system, SITAONAIR's AirCom Flighttracker, linked to Aireon's ADS-B satellite system, to achieve real-time global aircraft tracking. This system utilizes the Iridium NEXT satellite constellation and enhances flight tracking capabilities, especially over oceanic and remote areas. Malaysia Airlines also uses GE Aerospace software to optimize fuel consumption and reduce carbon emissions.
