SES to equip Japan Airlines with multi-orbit in-flight connectivity
SES has announced that it has been selected by Japan Airlines (JAL) to deploy a new multi-orbit in-flight connectivity solution across its long-haul fleet, aiming to "provide an onboard experience that allows passengers to stay connected through fast and reliable internet access."
The Japanese carrier will install SES's multi-orbit electronically steered antenna (ESA) systems on 20 Airbus A350-900s and 21 Boeing 787-9s. Deliveries of these systems are expected to commence in 2028.
