Using the award-winning GX Aviation technology from global mobile satellite communications provider, Inmarsat, the high-speed Super Wi-Fi service is being distributed across the airline’s fleet and since its launch in 2018 has enabled millions of passengers to browse the internet, check social media, stream videos and more whilst relaxing on board.
