We would like to advise you of the forthcoming maintenance in AMER and AORW region. This is an essential planned satellite reconfiguration to accommodate new operational requirements over the Inmarsat 4F3 coverage. During the maintenance period services in AMER and AORW will be not available for a period up to 60 minutes, where possible services will be recovered in the overlapping regions (APAC-POR-AORE-EMEA-IOR).
The details and timeline of the changes are reported below:

| End | 10:00 UTC, 9th November 2021 |
