Abra Group, the parent company of Avianca and GOL, is planning to fit 100 of its aircraft, both Airbus and Boeing, with inflight connectivity service provided by Luxembourg-based satellite operator SES.
In order to do so, Abra Group and SES will install a new electronically steered array (ESA) antenna on top of the aircraft.
This new generation antenna, which protrudes only seven centimeters from the fuselage, provides multi-orbit connectivity, as it is capable of linking to both geostationary (GEO) and low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites to provide reliable broadband connectivity.
