Royal Jordanian is prioritising high-speed WiFi to enhance its future passenger experience and has selected Viasat’s inflight connectivity solution across multiple fleets. In line with the airline’s strategic plan to increase and modernise its fleet, Royal Jordanian Airlines will equip more than 40 aircraft with Viasat connectivity systems, including plans to factory-install the system on its new Embraer E2, Airbus A320, Airbus A321 and Boeing 787-9 fleets. The airline also plans to retrofit its Boeing 787-8 widebody aircraft with the advanced WiFi solution.
“We are committed to providing our passengers with a superior inflight experience,” said Samer Majali, Vice Chairman / Board Designee CEO, Royal Jordanian Airlines. “By introducing high-speed streaming WiFi on our new fleets, and even installing it on some aircraft of our existing fleet, we are enabling state-of-the-art connectivity while inflight, and providing passengers with an enhanced and curated entertainment experience. We are looking forward to introducing the first WiFi onboard our E2 Embraer jets arriving by the end of this month.”
The connectivity service will be configured to provide passengers with a high-quality online experience, including fast internet speeds, streaming entertainment possibilities, real-time communication capabilities, and productivity options designed to keep passengers and crew connected throughout the flight.
“As Royal Jordanian Airlines looks to enhance its passenger experience for the future, we are proud to be part of enabling a next-level experience through fast and resilient connectivity wherever Royal Jordanian Airlines flies,” said Don Buchman, VP and GM of Commercial Aviation, Viasat. “We have worked closely with the team at Royal Jordanian Airlines to develop a solution that will match its goals and provide an advanced experience for passengers. We look forward to a successful relationship for many years to come.”
