Yes, there are GPS tracking systems to track cars in case they are stolen, and even turn the engine off when safe. But its surprising there is no such thing for commercial airliners in this day and age, to have similar systems so the airlines can track their aircraft at any time.

I bet after this they will make them mandatory.
