Vistara, a joint venture between Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines, is set to become the first Indian carrier to offer in-flight broadband services. The airline will be offering this service on Dreamliners and Airbus 321 aircraft which are expected to be inducted soon.
Vistara has tied up with Nelco, a Tata Enterprise and VSAT solutions provider which earlier this month announced the launch of Aero In-Flight Communication (IFC) services in India in partnership with Panasonic Avionics Corporation. The company will be using ISRO’s GSAT-14 satellite for the service.
Nelco said that its IFC services will enable international aircrafts flying over India as well as domestic airlines to offer broadband internet services to its passengers on board.
