The FINANCIAL — LATAM Airlines Brazil has announced that it will offer in-flight internet access on domestic and regional routes from the first quarter of 2018.
The onboard Wi-Fi service will be installed gradually on all aircraft that operate national flights within Brazil as well selected flights to other countries in Latin America, with the rollout expected to be completed in the first half of 2019, according to LATAM Airlines.
LATAM has partnered with Gogo, a company with global expertise in satellite internet technology for aircraft, to provide the service. Various connection options will be available to passengers, including a basic service to check emails and messages, and a faster connection for those wanting to use streaming services.
Onboard Wi-Fi will complement LATAM Entertainment, the airline group’s wireless in-flight entertainment system for short-haul flights, which enables passengers to stream films, TV shows and other content on their mobile devices free of charge.
Inflight internet will also be gradually extended to the other markets where LATAM Airlines Group operates, with further detail to be communicated in due course.
