Viasat and Deutsche Telekom have formed a new long-term agreement that the companies say cements their commitment to providing in-flight connectivity solutions to airline partners across the European Aviation Network (EAN).
EAN is powered by Deutsche Telekom as well as Inmarsat (which was recently acquired by Viasat) and combines S-band satellite coverage with a complementary ground component network operated by Deutsche Telekom. It is available on more than 290 aircraft on board carriers such as Iberia, British Airways, Vueling and AEGEAN.
“Viasat remains fully committed to EAN, now part of our global service offering in aviation,” said Shameem Hashmi, Vice President, Aviation Strategy, Viasat.
“The EAN in-flight connectivity solution is the right solution for certain fleets in Europe. We look forward to welcoming more airline partners to the network, so that additional passengers across Europe can benefit from a world-class in-flight connectivity experience.”
