There are also 2 700s with the new system and one (of two) 767 widebodies.

Hi Darren,

Thanks for providing this information. Just wondering if you had an update on equipage or where it might stand at the end of this quarter?

From your information above it seems that year-end 2015 numbers were as follows:

32 x 737-800s
2 x 737-700s
1 x 767
TOTAL = 34 Wi-Fi equipped aircraft

Does that sound right? If all your jets are to be equipped by the end of this year, are we looking at an eventual total of 132 aircraft?

Thanks,
Craig
