What's that hump so many airliners have on the back of their fuselage nowadays? I've only recently noticed. And if it's some sorta new mandatory safety or communications equipment, why do some have it and others don't?

It's just a satellite antenna for internet which is then offered as in-flight wifi.

Ah thanks, that makes sense. Shame they couldn't find a better way to hide them and now a ton of airliners have warts on the back.

Yes it's ugly as fuck and it also increases fuel consumption. And even the newest airliners like 787 or A350 don't have this antenna integrated into fuselage, shame.
