Following a successful trial involving easyJet’s full fleet of 27 Swiss-registered aircraft, inflight technology provider AirFi has announced the further deployment of its revolutionary portable streaming solution across the remainder of the airline’s continental European fleet.
In October 2022, the airline trialled AirFi’s technology as part of an ongoing campaign to deliver a digital onboard experience to its customers across Europe. Having deemed the initial trial to be a success, the airline has now equipped an additional 108 aircraft with AirFi’s streaming technology, which powers a customised wireless engagement portal enabling passengers to access games, journey-specific content and airline information, plus browse inflight retail offerings using their own mobile phones, tablet or laptops.
To access the content, passengers simply connect to the local wi-fi network created onboard. Access to the content is free, and there is no requirement for passengers to download an app before the flight or share personal information to get connected.
With the addition of all easyJet’s remaining continental EU-registered aircraft to the programme, the majority of the non-UK fleet is now offering this digital platform to passengers throughout their flight. Whether the system for the airline’s British-registered Airbus fleet is approved remains to be seen but the CAA usually follows EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency) policies.
