Emirates is stepping up their customer offerings with new high-speed, inflight broadband powered by Inmarsat’s GX Aviation, onboard 50 new Airbus A350 aircraft that are currently slated to arrive in 2024.
The Airbus A350s will be the first Emirates aircraft to take advantage of Inmarsat’s Global Xpress (GX) satellite network and it powers the world’s first and only globally available broadband network, from anywhere in the world.
“Delivering a world-class onboard experience has always been paramount to Emirates and we understand the importance of being connected during flights” Adel al Redha, Emirates’ Chief Operating Officer said in a press release.
“Over the years, we have worked closely with Inmarsat and our supplier partners to ensure all our aircraft offer Wi-Fi connectivity. We look forward to finding ways and options to improve the connectivity on-board our aircraft by utilising GX Aviation for our Airbus A350 fleet. The advanced capabilities being introduced by the forthcoming satellites are particularly important, as this will boost capacity across our global network, including aircraft flying over the Arctic for routes between the Middle East and America.”
