Inmarsat’s Global Xpress for Aviation, the world’s first globally available high-speed broadband network designed for mobility, will be deployed by Air New Zealand to deliver seamless broadband inflight wifi experiences across the world, offering business travellers better connectivity when flying to further destinations.
Air New Zealand has signed a contract with Inmarsat for GX connectivity across the airline’s long-haul and short-haul fleets. The first GX-equipped aircraft are expected to begin proving flights in the second half of 2017, with services progressively available on Tasman, Pacific, and long-haul fleets from the end of next year, while domestic routes are expected to be included from 2018.
The global nature of the GX network means that Air New Zealand’s ultra-long-haul routes, across the Pacific and on to the United Kingdom are covered, whilst the ability to layer-in capacity over Air New Zealand’s key regional destination hubs, such as the East Coast of Australia, will ensure that customer experience will be of consistently high quality. www.airnewzealand.com
