If the satellite was heading south at the same time as the plane then the Doppler effect would be squeezed by a tiny bit and the wavelength decreased - ie very slightly blue-shifted. If the satellite was moving north then the radio wavelength would be stretched - very slightly red shifted.

Have I got that correct ?
That is correct.
