"The connectivity has been delivered by SES in a move that positions it as a leading provider of satellite-powered broadband inflight service in the Americas. With 10 Airbus A320s now operational, Avianca is among the first in Latin America to offer Wi-Fi service using SES's electronically steered array (ESA) antenna, which is less than seven centimetres high and is claimed to deliver "unmatched reliability", connecting to both SES's family of geostationary satellites and partner constellation of low Earth orbit satellites."
"Abra Group comprises a pan-Latin American network of brands that aims to offer the lowest unit cost on the market. Brands include Gol and Avianca under a single leadership, and the group has a strategic investment in Wamos Air along with a minority stake investment in Sky Airline Chile. Overall, the group consolidates a team of around 30,000 personnel and a fleet of more than 300 aircraft, with scheduled flights serving over 25 countries and more than 140 destinations."
"Gol is one of Brazil's leading airlines, operating a fleet of 143 Boeing 737 aircraft and employing 13,900. Avianca, the second-oldest airline in the world, operates more than 140 A320 and B787 passenger aircraft, as well as six cargo aircraft, and has more than 14,000 employees. Wamos Air is claimed to be Europe's leader in wide-body ACMI operations, operating 13 A330 passenger aircraft."
Abra Group is rolling out SES multi-orbit satellite broadband across more than 100 Airbus and Boeing aircraft, aiming to provide fast, reliable inflight Wi-Fi. SES is delivering the service using a low-profile electronically steered array (ESA) antenna under seven centimetres high that links to geostationary satellites and partner low Earth orbit constellations. Avianca has ten A320s now operational with the service and is among the first in Latin America to use the ESA antenna. Abra Group consolidates Gol, Avianca, investments in Wamos Air and Sky Airline Chile, with a fleet over 300 aircraft and about 30,000 staff.
