[ACARS] Alitala B777 on test flight

Nick,

	Is VDL/2 going to be an upgrade to current ACARS, or is it going
to replace it altogether?

Joe

DATALINK (ACARS for now - VDL/2 sooner rather than later) is STANDARD an
all airliners now. The use is at the option of the AIRLINE. AZA are
awaiting the certification of the FMS on their current fleet of A319s
and A320s (the A321s were not built with this FMS) at which point
datalink will be activated (2 x A319s have been noted testing it)
