Connectivity - modern necessity in private travel
If there’s at least one thing the events of the last few months have shown us, it’s that we live in times that are uncertain. However, almost no one likes uncertainty. This is why in an era of unprecedented instability and turbulence, the notions of reliability and predictability are prized above all others.
Over the last few months, the importance of reliable connectivity has skyrocketed. Across all levels of our society, we can see deep relation with technology, which results in fact, that we are now more digital than ever.
Consistent and seamless high-speed Wi-Fi is crucial to modern flyers– something Inmarsat Aviation has been delivering to the sector for over two decades, via its inflight connectivity solutions for business aviation, SwiftBroadband, and more recently Jet ConneX, or JX. In an environment where someone´s day is planned down to the last minute, being disconnected even for a glance of the moment is a huge deal.
“I think you’ll see an associated surge in expectation that aircraft will come equipped with connectivity and not just linefit deliveries,” explains Kai Tang, Inmarsat Aviation’s Senior Vice President. “As transactions for pre-owned aircraft ramp back up, we’ll continue to see the expectation where a connected aircraft will be valued much more and an unconnected one will be considered antiquated. OEMs and charter companies alike already see reliable and consistent global connectivity as a differentiator.”
