Aeromexico is installing Viasat Amara in-flight connectivity on its E190 jets, which operates using Viasat’s global Ka-band network.
With the in-flight internet, passengers will be able to stream movies and television, watch live sports, and communicate on social media. Currently, six of the E190 fleet are equipped with the solution, and a further 28 aircraft will receive the installation.
“We are upgrading our Aeromexico Connect E190 fleet to deliver exceptional in-flight experiences on our short-haul routes,” said Andres Castañeda, Chief Digital and Customer Experience Officer & EVP in Aeromexico. “With Wi-Fi available on all our E190 aircraft by 2027, Aeromexico will be the first and only airline in Latin America to offer ad-supported free messaging across our entire network. This means our passengers can stay connected wherever they fly, with the option to purchase internet packages for enhanced connectivity.”
“As global demand for in-flight connectivity skyrockets — with passengers increasingly expecting to stream movies and shows the way they do at home while 30,000 feet in the sky — we are thrilled to collaborate with Aeromexico and Embraer,” commented Don Buchman, SVP & GM, Commercial Aviation, Viasat. “Both companies value high-quality, fast, and reliable onboard Wi-Fi service to create an exceptional passenger experience.”
“Embraer is constantly working to improve the experience in its wide range of aircraft,” added Carlos Naufel, President and CEO, of Embraer Services & Support. “Offering connectivity services on Aeromexico’s E-Jets fleet is an important step to provide more comfort to the airline’s customers.”
