All Nippon Airways (ANA) is introducing a free, high-speed internet service capable of inflight video streaming in all cabin classes on B767-300ER aircraft during international flights.
Powered by Viasat, the service ensures passengers enjoy smooth, fast connectivity from boarding to disembarkation. The streaming quality is described as being similar to “a ground-like internet experience in the air.”
“The integration of Viasat’s Wi-Fi equipment enables the B767-300ER aircraft to offer a seamless and stay connected internet experience, mirroring ground-level performance,” said Tomoji Ishii, Executive Vice President, Customer Experience of ANA.
Mark Dankberg, Chairman and CEO of Viasat, added: “As ANA’s passengers increasingly value staying connected inflight with high-speed Wi-Fi, especially on international routes, we are honoured to support ANA in offering free, streaming in-flight internet on Viasat-equipped aircraft.”
“ANA has selected our next-generation Viasat Amara solution, which combines proven technology and capabilities with a robust innovation roadmap designed to service ANA today and well into the future.”
ANA is phasing in the service and aims to complete modifications on three B767-300ER aircraft by the end of fiscal year 2025. It plans to extend high-speed Wi-Fi access across all six B767-300ER aircraft by the end of the following year and then to integrate Viasat’s system into additional new international aircraft, rolling out the free, all-class service across its fleet.
ANA plans to upgrade additional aircraft to provide free high-speed in-flight internet for all classes on more than 80% of its international fleet by the end of 2030.
