It sort of does, it forwards the states to soft rfkil switches - which is
in the kernel. Android also uses rfkill.

Hi,

there is: click the network icon and there you'll find an airplane switch.

I think network manager itself has no notion of "airplane mode", we just 
internally track state and turn off WiFi and Bluetooth accordingly.

Pitch for Airplane mode

[Sayan Biswas]

Hi,

I was wondering is there an Airplane mode (UI level) available for the
recent Plasma version. If not, I would like to pitch in for the job because
I couldn't find in majority of the linux OS which is quite a handy feature
at ttimes. I am currently hacking in Ubuntu 16.04.

I would also like to know why is it not present in majority of the linux OS
when other players like Windows, Mac, etc have this feature? Is there any
downside to having this feature?
