Usable wifi, video included. Next-gen is inside this count. It is not a second, matching number.
What Streaming means
Aircraft where video works. 120 aircraft, 50%. That includes the 120 next-gen tails plus 0 with older satellite wifi that still streams. This card shows coverage, not a quality score.
The rest of the fleet
After next-gen and streaming, the leftover is older onboard wifi, no wifi, or no published system. Older satellite wifi that still streams is already in the Streaming card, not a vendor tile here.
Older onboard wifi Cabin systems that are not the streaming bucket.
53
No wifi Published as unequipped.
48
No published system Unknown is not zero. These aircraft have no system on the record.
20
53 + 48 + 20 = 121 aircraft not in the Streaming card. 120 + 121 = 241.
