OnAir + Libyan Airlines... Airborne Access (SATCOM)


[SatNews] Libyan Airlines will take delivery of its first A330 next month, equipped with...

...OnAir connectivity. Passengers on long-haul flights to and from Tripoli will be able to stay in contact with family, friends and colleagues by phone, SMS and email. They will also be able to update social media accounts and use the Internet. Libyan Airlines has opted for full GSM and Wi-Fi connectivity, giving passengers the widest choice available. OnAir is the only provider to offer consistent global coverage due to its unique network of regulatory authorizations from more than 90 countries and more than 350 roaming agreements—it uses Inmarsat SwiftBroadband, the only satellite network specifically designed for global coverage.

Mobile OnAir and Internet OnAir have been linefitted on four Libyan Airlines’ A330-200 aircraft in time for the May delivery of two A330s, followed by another two next year. The aircraft will fly on long-haul international routes to Asia and Europe.
