Avianca is actively implementing SES's advanced multi-orbit, ESA-based inflight connectivity (IFC) solution across its Airbus A320 Family fleet. This strategic upgrade aims to significantly enhance the passenger experience by providing robust and reliable Wi-Fi services during flights. The airline has confirmed that the new connectivity is now available on a portion of its A320 aircraft.
The adoption of a multi-orbit system, which leverages both geostationary (GEO) and medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites, allows Avianca to offer superior bandwidth and lower latency compared to traditional single-orbit solutions. This technology ensures a more consistent and high-performance internet experience for passengers across the airline's network. The deployment reflects Avianca's commitment to modernizing its cabin offerings and meeting the growing demand for seamless inflight internet access.
