22 June 2017: Inmarsat (LON: ISAT), the world's leading provider
of global mobile satellite communications, today announces that
Avianca has become the first Latin American airline group to adopt
Inmarsat's GX Aviation service; the world's most advanced, globally
available in-flight connectivity solution delivered by a single
operator.
GX Aviation will initially be made available to passengers on
approximately 125 Avianca Airbus A320, A330 and Boeing 787
aircraft, with the potential for additional aircraft to be
provisioned at a later date. Avianca's GX-equipped aircraft are
currently expected to be rolled out starting at the end of the
year.
The contract is for a period of 10 years. The value of the
contract has not been disclosed.
The agreement with Avianca underlines the continuing momentum
behind Inmarsat's next generation inflight connectivity services
(IFC). Inmarsat now has over 1,200 aircraft installations expected
under signed contracts for its IFC services. Mandates have been won
from leading airlines worldwide including Qatar Airways, Deutsche
Lufthansa Group, International Airlines Group, Air New Zealand,
Singapore Airlines and Norwegian Air Shuttle.
