PaxEx Premium: Shipping ATG out to sea

20 November 2018 By Seth Miller

Air-to-ground connectivity networks do not work over water. The word ground is right there in the name. Not ocean, not sea. Ground. And yet, Deutsche Telekom has its eyes on changing the rules of ATG networking, bringing the technology to some overwater flights to further support Inmarsat's European Aviation Network (EAN) operations. The idea might not be as crazy as it sounds.

Finnair’s new short-haul wifi solution, powered by Viasat, is no longer free. The carrier ended the introductory trial period for the service this week, bringing a split-tier performance and pricing model into play.

Viasat 8: The Ocho!

9 August 2018 By Seth Miller

It is just one small line inserted into today's Viasat earnings notes, "... total next-generation IFC system installations to around 200 aircraft across eight commercial airlines." The 200 number is nice, but the eight is more significant.

Connectivity milestones aplenty

31 July 2018 By Seth Miller

Just how many aircraft carry inflight connectivity hardware? And which kit?? A pair of announcements this week gives greater insight into which kit is where and how the market is shifting, rapidly in some cases. Not that installation number 1000 matters more than number 999, of course. Yet somehow it does. Just a little.

Which airline doesn’t hate its connectivity provider?

31 May 2018 By Seth Miller

When senior airline executives are willing to trash their vendors in public that's usually bad news for everyone involved. Welcome to the inflight connectivity world, where airlines are almost as unhappy as the passengers struggling to stay online in the sky. Alas, only part of that frustration is grounded in reality.

SAS & Viasat connect on short-haul: It just works

23 May 2018 By Seth Miller 3 Comments

It worked, exactly as advertised. That was the main takeaway from last week’s media demo flight of the new SAS high-speed inflight internet service on the carrier’s single-aisle fleet. The part where it is free for many passengers is great news, too.

Beyond sound bites: Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary on Inflight Connectivity

26 July 2017 By Seth Miller Leave a Comment

Not a chance. You’ll never see inflight connectivity on a Ryanair plane. Unless, of course, it is free and passengers’ buying patterns shift. Michael O’Leary leaves the door open to some interesting possibilities.
