Aeromexico has expanded its partnership with Viasat, a satellite communications company, by opting to retrofit its fleet of 17 787 Dreamliners with Viasat’s in-flight connectivity solution.
The airline has used Viasat’s Wi-Fi on select aircraft since 2018, and the expansion is set to start with the Aeromexico’s 787-8s, followed by the 787-9s, with the first aircraft expected to enter service later in 2025. Viasat will also be providing its Viasat Ads platform, allowing passengers to access free connectivity via ads.
“We’re honoured to extend our partnership with Aeromexico,” said Don Buchman, SVP and GM, Commercial Aviation at Viasat. “It’s our mission to bring a consistently high-quality and content-rich in-flight Wi-Fi experience to passengers around the world, and we’re looking forward to delivering this onboard additional Aeromexico aircraft.”
“Providing the best in-flight experience is one of our top priorities,” commented Andrés Castañeda, Chief of Digital & Customer Experience Officer and EVP of Aeromexico. “We work hard to elevate each passenger’s journey to an extraordinary experience, and we know that connectivity is essential. Viasat is a trusted provider for Aeromexico, and with a resilient, multi-orbit satellite roadmap, we look forward to continuing to work together to bring high-quality in-flight Wi-Fi to our customers long into the future.”
