The 787-8 also uses Panasonic.
If it's LAA with ViaSat and Panasonic and LUS with Gogo, I'm assuming the breakdown will look something like this in a few years:
• E190: Gogo
• LAA A319: ViaSat
• LUS A319: Gogo
• MD-80: Gogo (assuming no retrofit for these aircraft)
• A320: Gogo
• 737: ViaSat
• LAA A321T & A321S: ViaSat
• LUS A321: Gogo
• LAA 757 International: ?
• LUS 757 MCE retrofit: ?
• 767 retrofit: Panasonic
• 787-8 & 787-9: Panasonic
• A330-200 & A330-300: ?
• 777-200 & 777-300: Panasonic
Agreed that having 3 different Wi-Fi providers to worry about is going to be a huge inconsistent inconvenience.
Has AA announced pricing for the ViaSat Wi-Fi yet?
