Qantas starts international wifi

[vhojm]

Some said this is a military base in Singapore

It is, but doesn’t mean that wifi isn’t done there.

I doubt it because wouldn’t it be better to do it at Changi

@moa999 I'm a bit confused as I see 14 regos for the 789 on flightradar but you have 13 789s listed

Thanks will fix in next update.

VH-QPE ferried to Paya Lebar, do they do hump installation

Other 333s were 'humped' in AUH, but there is a maintenance facility there so it's possible. Also a 330 sized paint shop.

-QPE joins -EBA which is also in Paya Lebar undergoing maintenance.

QF have been sending aircraft to QPG for years.

Has QPG been to QPG yet?

Wifi is currently switched at the gate currently on VH-QPG for QF79. Wonder how long it will work for.

Some delays to Telesat Lightspeed launch with main launches now due from mid-2027

Telesat pivots Lightspeed toward defense as delays push global service to 2028

Telesat plans to carve out 25% of its Lightspeed broadband constellation for military Ka-band as the program’s latest delay pushes global service into early 2028, creating more room to align the design with shifting geopolitical priorities.

Still no firm date for Viasat 3 F3 launch which is expected soon.

787 VH-ZND positioned HKG on 25/3

 

[moa999]

Latest from the various launch watchers suggest the next Falcon Heavy launch will be ViaSat3 F3 and it's pencilled in for late April.

Also finally spotted VH-ZNF on an LAX stream and can confirm its got a hump.

 

[moa999]

ZND back from HKG to SYD overnight landing at 0940. So assuming it has hump that's the halfway point of the current 787 fleet.

11/11 220s
75/77 737s - bar the white tailed ex-SQ XZQ R in service and XZS T to enter service soonish
4/4 321 XLRs
14/ 16 332s - all bar EBP Q
5/ 10 333s - QPF G H I J
7/ 14 787s - ZND* E F G H J K
0 / 10 380s - yet to commence

* ZND to be confirmed
QPE in QPG for possible paint or wifi
OQI in DRS for possible paint or wifi
--
EBA also in QPG (possible paint)
QPV in BNE (possible refurb)

You do realise Changi is a military base also?

VH-ZND confirmed with hump on SydSquad this afternoon.
ZNI ferried out Thu night.

My unfortunate luck. QF swapped MEL/BNE planes at NRT and I got EBP. Definitely no wifi on board.

Oh I almost flew EBP this morning after it turned around but ended up on EBC instead...
