Remains the unique service provider compliant with Airbus inflight communications architecture

Geneva, Switzerland, 5 February 2010. OnAir has been selected by Airbus as the first connectivity solutions provider to be linefit offerable on A350 XWB. The company is as of today the only service provider to comply with Airbus’ A350 stringent inflight communications architecture (based on the ALNA V2 platform). OnAir is already linefit and retrofit offerable on the other Airbus families, and has been certified by EASA on 9 Airbus aircraft types.

“OnAir is proud that its state-of-the-art connectivity technology has been chosen onboard the latest generation of aircraft on the market,” said Benoit Debains, CEO of OnAir. “OnAir services can be integrated with all possible inflight entertainment and communication systems. This will be very important for the airline industry and in particular for the 40 per cent of Airbus A350’s customers who have already chosen OnAir’s connectivity solutions.”

With over 20 customers across the globe, OnAir is the only inflight mobile communications provider to deliver broadband satellite solutions worldwide. The solution offers much more than passenger communications, with applications such as telemedecine, credit card authentication, airline in-flight portals which generate ancillary revenues, improve airline efficiency and help reduce costs.
