AirAsia X selects Inmarsat for A330 IFEC
AirAsia X has signed a memorandum of understanding to equip its Airbus A330s and A320s with Inmarsat’s GX Aviation connectivity. Under the MOU, which was announced April 4, AirAsia X plans to connect its long-haul fleet and ultimately upgrade its short-haul fleet to GX Aviation too. The carrier currently has no fixed inflight entertainment and connectivity (IFEC) system on its 30 long-haul A330s. Instead, AirAsia X passengers are able to access the group’s ROKKI entertainment platform through offline tablets that can be rented from the airline. Conversely, on short-haul routes, Air Asia has already rolled out Inmarsat SwiftBroadband connectivity on more than 40 of its A320s. Passengers can access ROKKI content and connectivity via their own devices. <br/>
