High-speed satellite connectivity is being provided on Aeromexico’s Embraer E190 jets via Viasat’s global Ka-band network.
It will allow passengers to stream movies and television, watch live sports, access the internet, send emails and connect to their social networks.
A total of 34 Aeromexico Embraer E190 aircraft will be equipped with Viasat’s Wi-Fi technology, enabling passengers to use fast, reliable internet connectivity.
Andres Castañeda, Chief Digital and Customer Experience Officer and Executive Vice President at Aeromexico, said: “We are upgrading our Aeromexico Connect E190 fleet to deliver exceptional in-flight experiences on our short-haul routes.”
“With Wi-Fi available on all our E190 aircraft by 2027, Aeromexico will be the first and only airline in Latin America to offer ad-supported free messaging across our entire network. This means our passengers can stay connected wherever they fly, with the option to purchase internet packages for enhanced connectivity,” he continued.
Don Buchman, Senior Vice President and General Manager – Commercial Aviation at Viasat, commented: “As global demand for inflight connectivity skyrockets – with passengers increasingly expecting to stream movies and shows the way they do at home while 30,000 feet in the sky – we are thrilled to collaborate with Aeromexico and Embraer.”
Carlos Naufel, President and CEO of Embraer Services and Support, added: “Offering connectivity services on Aeromexico’s E-Jets fleet is an important step to provide more comfort to the airline’s customers.”
