Etihad Ups Their Wifi Game

Etihad Ups Their Wifi Game


Etihad Airways is reportedly planning to introduce service from Wi-Fly aboard flights, starting with a demonstration at the Dubai Airshow in November of the in-flight wifi’s connectivity.

“We will need to complete certifications and test flights to check the performance on aircrafts. The technology we have now is okay, the passenger is satisfied. But this is the next step where we want it to be faster, so they feel like they are at home with a strong signal. People want to connect fluently, to have wonderful IT, entertainment and global connectivity in the cabin. This is the future,” said Bernhard Randerath, the vice president of design, engineering and innovation at Etihad.
