Singapore Airlines to provide free high-speed Wi-fi on board with Panasonic Avionics

Singapore Airlines will be delivering unlimited complimentary Panasonic Avionics Wi-Fi to its customers from 1 July.

According to Panasonic Avionics, the enhanced Wi-Fi is expected to be made available virtually across SIA’s entire aircraft fleet in all cabin classes, and almost the entire global SIA route network. It will be available to all KrisFlyer members flying Economy and Premium Economy classes when before the announcement, unlimited complimentary Wi-Fi was only available to First and Business class customers, PPS Club members and PPS Club supplementary card holders.

Passengers need to register for SIA’s free KrisFlyer membership to access the complimentary Wi-Fi and insert their membership number in the booking. During the flight, customers can connect to the KrisWorld network and redeem the complimentary session in the in-flight Wi-Fi portal.

John Wade, Vice President of Panasonic Avionics’ In-flight Connectivity Business Unit, said: “In-flight connectivity is paramount to airlines and their customers, and the expectation is that they get the same service in the air as they do on the ground – everything from email, web browsing, and surfing social media.

“We are honoured to be a part of Singapore Airlines’ vision to offer simply the best in-flight experience. This announcement is just the latest example of our mission to work with industry stakeholders to enable passengers to connect in flight easily and affordably.”
