Croatia Airlines is raising its game by making in-flight Wi-Fi available to passengers. The development is through a collaboration with Panasonic Avionics. The cutting-edge wireless service will feature on the airline’s new Airbus A220 fleet. This marks an important milestone as the airline’s first in-flight internet service offering.
This exciting update follows an agreement with Panasonic Avionics, a leader in in-flight engagement and connectivity solutions. Croatia Airlines will equip its 15 new A220 aircraft with this technology by 2027. Passengers can first enjoy the new service in June 2024.
Croatia Airlines Offers Seamless In-Flight Wi-Fi Connections and In-Seat Power
The introduction of high-speed Wi-Fi allows passengers to connect seamlessly. They can work efficiently, browse the internet, and stay in touch with friends and family while flying. Each seat also has USB-A and USB-C ports and holders for smartphones and tablets.
Croatia Airlines selected Panasonic Avionics’ Ku-band satellite connectivity for its top-tier performance and compatibility with the Airbus A220. This partnership reflects the airline’s commitment to improving its passengers’ experience.
With the installation of the Ku-band antenna, Croatia Airlines connects its A220 fleet to Panasonic Avionics’ global communications network. This network delivers robust, high-bandwidth satellite coverage.
