Up in the Air: Connectivity

Following the launch of its first A330-900neo with inflight mobile connectivity, TAP Air Portugal will add the service to 37 additional aircraft this year.

The Viasat inflight Wi-Fi service offers passengers an at-home or office experience in the sky and keeps flight crews connected.

Passengers can now enjoy inflight Wi-Fi across the carrier’s Business, Premium Economy and Economy cabins on its new A330neo aircraft.

The Wi-Fi service will be available for passengers travelling long-haul on Norwegian’s Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner and 737 MAX aircraft.

The new AirFi LEO product will enable basic web services such as online payments, real-time bookings and social media usage at 35,000 feet.

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