Does anyone know if there has there been any news regarding whether the Gatwick 744 leisure fleet will be having WIFI retrofitted at any time?
I know there was some chatter about it a while ago, but not heard anything for ages.

Last we heard was that it was already installed on 2 of the LGW/MAN 744's so far (and 2 LHR A346's) and was just waiting for CAA approval before VS could start using it (each aircraft type requires it's own separate CAA approval).
I would imagine it has been installed on G-VBIG which is currently being converted from the LHR config to the LGW/MAN config and is due back from China next week on the 12th.
It is due to be installed on all the remaining VS fleet including the LGW/MAN 744's.
