Finnair and Air Astana opt for multi-orbit satellite wi-fi from SES

Finnair and Air Astana have selected a multi-orbit satellite Wi-Fi system provided by SES to enhance passenger connectivity onboard their aircraft. The Finnish airline will deploy the system across eighteen new Embraer 195-E2 regional jets, marking a significant investment in modern in-flight internet capabilities. Simultaneously, Kazakh carrier Air Astana is equipping its Airbus A321LR fleet with this advanced technology. This dual implementation utilizes an electronically steered antenna (ESA) designed for seamless switching between low-Earth orbit and geostationary satellites. Ultimately, passengers on both airlines can expect improved global coverage and enhanced wireless services during flights.
