The first CEA aircraft equipped with a system and service tailored to the unique requirements of China is an Airbus A330 aircraft. Onboard, passengers can experience Internet by WiFi at 35,000 feet. The first aircraft has been dedicated to routes between Shanghai and Beijing, allowing government agencies to observe operation of the service before granting full regulatory approval for operation on additional domestic and international routes. CEA has already selected the implementation for another six B767s and 20 B777 aircraft.
A spokesperson from China Eastern Airlines said, “This is an tremendous milestone for China and we look forward to ensuring our passengers are both entertained and productive as they fly.”
Lv Junli, President of China Telecom Satellite added, “This is a momentous day for China’s commercial airline industry, and we are very confident of providing better broadband connectivity to China with our partners at China Eastern Airlines and Panasonic.”
Skymark Airlines, Japan’s third largest airline, has also chosen Panasonic Avionics' eXConnect to provide its passengers with free-of-charge in-flight WiFi service, Panasonic Avionics said on July 23.
Skymark Airlines will introduce the service on its fleet of new Airbus A330s for domestic flights. The free-of-charge WiFi experience is expected to be available on their international A380 fleet, initially on flights to North America.
