The next generation of Thales in-flight wifi service installations are underway. The work is being handled by STS Mod Center, a division of STS Aviation Group, at its facility in Melbourne, Florida. STS indicated plans to fit more than 100 aircraft in the coming year for an unnamed customer.
The first aircraft to be a part of this program, an A321, arrived a few days ago and installation work is already underway.
– Mark Smith, President of STS Aviation Group
STS says a typical installation takes about three days on a single-aisle aircraft and up to six on a twin-aisle aircraft.
STS President Mark Smith also notes that the order “includes models from both Boeing and Airbus” which raises some interesting questions about which airline customer is involved.
