airplane mode can be a physical switch or a software switch and is calculated
like:

        v = g_dbus_proxy_get_cached_property (self->priv->rfkill,
"BluetoothHasAirplaneMode");
        self->priv->has_airplane_mode = g_variant_get_boolean (v);

rfkill info comes from /dev/rfkill and can be inspected using the rfkill tool
(sudo zypper in rfkill, sudo rfkill list)

Anything special in the BT entry?
