Qantas starts international wifi

find it bonkers they are even continuing to install the Viasat gear.

Undoubtedly a tight contract.
Probably with liquidated damages if you use anyone else.

Anyhow the backbone in the plane is likely the same and the hole is cut in the fuselage, so I'd think the antenna replacement would be pretty quick.

I was on ZNL last week (operating as QF5) and it did not have WiFi. Maybe a temporary issue, I did see the dome on it.

The crew also confirmed no WiFi but they were puzzled too as they assumed all the 787s should have WiFi by now

Just because they have the Wifi mod doesnt mean it is connected. Activation is different to the physical modification of the aircraft

Ofcourse, but i thought it was reported up thread that ZNL should have active WiFi by now
