The cost of a boeng 747-8 is $350 million, you can apparently launch a satellite for $10 million, so for the whole aviation industry it would be Penny's relatively for them to have full coverage, and know the exact location of their aircraft in the southern hemisphere as they do in the northern hemisphere, for example Fly Be's tax bill is about $150 million and they are a small airline.
