That's exactly what we're doing. The aircraft traffic is sent to one of five satellite ground stations around the globe and released there to the Internet. To maintain connectivity for things like VPNs, we withdraw and re-announce the route for each plane as it is handed off from one ground station to another wrt satellite beams. Refer to several earlier presentations at NANOG. BTW, you may have seen the public announcement ~month ago that Connexion is closing down its commerical service by year end, so you won't be seeing these after that.

Strike me as curious, but this seems as if Connexion by Boeing is handing off a /24 from ASN to ASN as a certain plane moves over certain geographic areas. Or is there some other explanation?
