EasyJet testing intranet-based IFE as part of innovation push
EasyJet is set to trial on-board intranet-based IFE, supplied Immfly, from this fall and is evaluating Inmarsat’s European Aviation Network (EAN) for future full Wi-Fi connectivity. EasyJet announced the move during its annual Innovation Day, alongside the main announcement that it had partnered on a commercial electric aircraft venture. The on-board intranet product, branded as Air Time, will initially be deployed on 5 Geneva-based EasyJet Switzerland aircraft, which will each be equipped with 3 local area network access points and an on-board server. This sub-fleet was selected as the Swiss operation is smaller and easier to monitor than EasyJet’s UK fleet. The Air Time system will be free to access, with no registration. It is sponsored by internet services firm Rakuten and American Express. <br/>
