You can buy a box that attaches to anything you'd like to track. For example with magnets to a steel shipping container.
It has its own battery and gps and a satellite phone. It notices from the gps when the container is moving and starts sending position updates with the satellite phone. You can specify the interval, that then decides how many years the battery lasts.

So why isn't this a cost effective approach to the problem for airlines? You could even have a pool of them that you attach to airplanes that on overseas duty only to limit the costs.
