It has been a long and winding road, but the first Air Canada 737 MAX plane with an active inflight internet solution is now in service. The plane is flying with the Intelsat 2Ku solution on board. That provider shift was first tipped in May and confirmed by the company last month.
We’ve got a phenomenal relationship with [Air Canada] and they went a different direction with that fleet, but have come back here which I’m really happy about.
– Dave Bijur, Intelsat SVP Commercial Aviation
