Inmarsat shifting providers for a launch
In article ,
says...
I suppose there can be only so much patience waiting for a flight
backlog to be drained, and Inmarsat has reached the limit of theirs,
shifting from SpaceX to Ariane for one of their satellites:

Some payloads can't withstand long flight delays for economic or other
reasons (e.g. lost revenue). Others can. Some payloads can even afford
to launch on Atlas V and Delta IV.
