The two parties will be able to combine their services to offer broadband inflight connectivity paired with high-value solutions and services to airlines.

Following the launch of a new app, AirlineCheckins Plus customers can now access inflight Wi-Fi onboard 36 airlines thanks to a partnership with iPass.

The survey, conducted by Populus on behalf of Inmarsat, found that 91% of 18-30 year olds and 90% of business travellers would use in-flight Wi-Fi.

Almost four in 10 commercial aircraft globally will be equipped with inflight Wi-Fi by the end of 2018, according to Valour Consultancy.

SES Networks’ Aditya Chatterjee offers his thoughts on the current state of the IFC market as demand for connectivity continues to rise.

The LSE/Inmarsat report suggests the connected aircraft has the potential to save airlines billions of dollars annually by delivering operational efficiencies.
