Given the Starlink contract is signed. The opportunity for Immarsat looking after AirNZ to keep the contract is long gone.
Really if you are an airline or shipping line Starlink is really the only option unless Immarsat and the like give heavy discounts.
I wonder how long the current contract with Immarsat is for the 77W/789s? and how long before it can be changed to the starlink.
