Viasat’S Ka-band in-flight connectivity (IFC) business aviation service will be available aboard new and in-service Bombardier Challenger 350 aircraft, as well as on in-service Challenger 300 aircraft.

Viasat expects to have its FAA Supplemental Type Certificate for the jets by the end of October 2020.

“Our goal is to give passengers flying on Bombardier Challenger aircraft an enhanced connectivity experience through all phases of flight,” said Claudio D’Amico, business area director, Business Aviation, Viasat. “We’re confident our new Ka-band service offerings will deliver a no-compromise, premium, home-like connectivity experience for Bombardier’s super mid-size business jets.”

Viasat recently announced it had removed internet speed limits delivered to the aircraft across all of its business aviation Ka-band service plans. In recent speed tests, Viasat customers have seen 40 Mbps and higher download speeds across the new service plans.
