Emirates to Enable In-Flight Calls on Airbus A380s
In-flight phone call services provider, OnAir has inked a deal with Emirates to install full Mobile OnAir and Internet OnAir in-flight passenger communications services on their Airbus A380 aircraft fleet. All 90 of the double-decker aircraft operating on long-haul intercontinental routes will be equipped with the system.
The first OnAir-equipped Emirates Airbus 380 will come into service in June 2012.
"Emirates inflight entertainment system is a consistent global award winner and we are constantly looking to enhance the services we provide to our passengers," stated Tim Clark, President Emirates Airline. "Our decision to install a full set of in-flight connectivity services is part of our on-going effort to provide customers with the real-time access to information that they demand."
"Emirates have established themselves as pioneers of in-flight connectivity. We are very proud that after rigorous evaluation, they have chosen OnAir technology for their flagship aircraft fleet," said Ian Dawkins, CEO of OnAir. "In choosing SwiftBroadband technology, Emirates benefit from a powerful platform combining cockpit and cabin communications - and one that offers further evolution into the future, should market demand require."
OnAir has operated more than 120,000 fully connected flights to date to over 300 cities operating to 75 countries across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa and has signed agreements with more than 25 customers worldwide.
