Avianca's WiFi Providers and Fleet Expansion
Avianca is actively expanding its in-flight WiFi service, with a goal for full fleet connectivity by 2027. The Airbus A320 family aircraft are scheduled to be fully connected by the end of 2026, and the Boeing 787 Dreamliners are expected to follow by 2027.
The airline is implementing SES's multi-orbit inflight connectivity solution on its Airbus A320 Family aircraft, which leverages both geostationary and Low Earth Orbit satellite networks. The WiFi service is accessible through the 'Avianca On Air' portal, and Intelsat is identified as the contractual service provider.
Connectivity Tiers and Performance
Passengers on Avianca flights equipped with WiFi can select from three distinct service tiers: Messaging, Browsing, and Streaming. The Messaging package is designed for text-based applications, while the Browsing option supports general web surfing and email activities.
For more data-intensive needs, the Streaming package provides sufficient bandwidth for real-time video and music playback. While the new multi-orbit system aims to deliver high-capacity connectivity, some previous reports have noted slower speeds for general web browsing on existing systems.
