Satellites on Virgin Blue
 
hey guys, can you tell me which virgin blue aircraft have the satelite dishes installed?

I took a shot of one on 16L today at about 11.45am, but was in the car and not able to pick up the rego.

almost if not all 737's and 738's have these installed for the Live2Air IFE system.

They are not installed on Virgins E-Jets.

Isn't VH-VUO the only one without it now?

Raymond Rowe 1st June 2008 08:20 PM

VUH is not fitted and VBT is also not fitted. VUO as well.

Marty H 1st June 2008 08:38 PM

VH-VUH, VH-VUO, VH-VOX, VH-VBT and VH-VBU are not fitted with Live2air.

I would not expect the E-Jets to be fitted considering the product is a both unreliable and a loss-maker for Virgin.

at least the in-flight map is free

Chris - Do you have inside information to make a statement like this.

Please back up your comment and put the info here for all to read.
