Actually, no
SBAS is the
present, not the future ... in North America, in Europe and in Japan
Why the hell Australia and NZ didn't do a deal with Japan when they put up their WAAS / EGNOS equivalent MSAS is incomprehensible to me.
All QANTAS & Air NZ long range aircraft ought to be already fitted for this technology so they can fly into Europe, North America and Japan.
It would surely have been a relatively small expense to extend coverage into the southern hemisphere
