4/4 321 XLRs
14/ 16 332s - all bar EBP (EBQ currently in QPG)
6/ 10 333s - all bar QPA B C D. Excludes ex-AY QPK L
8/ 14 787s - all bar ZNA B L M N (ZNC in HKG)
0 / 10 380s - yet to commence (OQI in DRS)

Also

QPV in BNE (possible refurb / maint)

QPV didnt realise they took delivery of QPM-QPV heheheh.

On a serious note, they do seem to be getting through the 787s quite quickly which is nice.

QPV

Fixed.

789s reportedly quick as the internals were pre-wired at manufacture, so it's just adding the hump (aerial and cover) and configuring it. The 330s and 380s require much more internal work.

So just want to see if I got info right.

Viasat 3-F1 (faulty deployment) is up and operational althrough crippled. NA
Viasat 3-F2 Currently in deployment phase - NA
Viasat 3-F3 Currently in final preparation for launch (target before May 2026) - APAC.
Does this mean they're now building out a F4 to cover EMEA that F2 was meant to cover?

Also I wonder if even with this Viasat system if the speeds will really be able to even come close to Starlink throughput. If i understand my specs correctly, each V3 Starlink satelite would have theoretical capabilities similar to the Viasat 3 satelites?
