In both business and commercial aviation, seamless inflight connectivity (IFC) is becoming an expectation rather than luxury. In this episode of the Satellite World Briefing, our host discussed the evolving landscape of IFC with Valour Consultancy Co-Founders & Senior Consultants Craig Foster and Daniel Welch.
With the Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) conference just around the corner, Foster and Welch dove into the latest trends shaping the industry, ranging from the impact of emerging technologies like next-generation air-to-ground and satellite networks to shifting passenger expectations. They also discussed how airlines and business aviation operators are adapting to meet the growing demand for connectivity, the role of loyalty programs in justifying IFC investments, and how advanced satellite solutions are democratizing high-speed connectivity for smaller aircrafts globally.
“Inflight connectivity is no longer a luxury—it’s an expectation. For years, it has been one of the most essential features for commercial airlines, especially full-service carriers, as they strive to meet passenger demands.” – Daniel Welch
