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
SBAS is on trial in Australia and is expected to be approved in 2025 or thereabouts.
Dont know whether it is ever expected to deliver Cat III though.
