贴个不是埃塞俄比亚航空空难事件的新闻来转移注意力.
简单说,星宇航空将在A321 及 A350 提供 wifi 高速网络服务.
当然啦,你不能期待这是免费的服务, 或许商务舱(含)以上有机会是免费的.
PS-华航买Neo or Max 似乎也不重要了, 慢慢评估吧.

星宇航空与SITAONAIR签署机上连网(IFC)供应合约
New Taiwan carrier embraces next-gen connectivity with SITAONAIR
Taiwanese start-up carrier, Starlux Airlines, is gearing up for its
commercial launch by announcing its partnership with SITAONAIR to bring
next-generation inflight connectivity (IFC) to its passengers.
SITAONAIR will deploy its award-winning Internet ONAIR Wi-Fi portal –
powered by Link ONAIR over Inmarsat’s high-speed GX Aviation satellite
network – aboard the airline’s A321neos and A350s. The deal means cutting
edge IFC services will be available to Starlux’s first passengers when it
launches in 2020.
Founded in May 2018, Starlux Airlines will serve both Asian and North
American long-haul routes from its headquarters in Taipei. Serving business
and leisure markets, the airline is focused on meeting passenger demand with
tailored, premium IFC offers.
The selection of SITAONAIR’s end-to-end connectivity for the inaugural fleet
is a testament to both SITAONAIR’s position as an expert and unique provider
of bespoke passenger experience solutions, at the forefront of connected
aircraft innovation and Starlux’s commitment to developing a top-flight
passenger experience ready for commercial launch.
“As we prepare to welcome our first passengers aboard in 2020, we are
thrilled to be partnering with SITAONAIR to bring a world-class connectivity
experience to passengers,” says Starlux’s President, Glen Chai. “We are
excited by what is taking shape and are certain that Internet ONAIR over GX
Aviation will deliver the consistent and high-speed connection necessary for
a top-flight travel experience.”
Internet ONAIR, SITAONAIR’s award-winning inflight connectivity portal,
enables passengers to stay connected with their digital lives on the ground –
even at 30,000+ feet. What’s more, the portal is expertly integrated within
airlines’ existing passenger manifest. This allows seamless synchronization
of the latest passenger information and requirements which are recorded in
the airline’s customer relationship management (CRM) system. Connecting
Internet ONAIR with this rich source of customer data enables Starlux to
extend its personalized passenger offerings from ground to air, to promote
custom price plans and tailored content depending on passenger budget, seat
class, frequent flyer status, search histories, or shopping preferences.
Katrina Korzenowski, SITAONAIR Commercial Regional VP, Asia-Pacific, says: “
Starlux is an exciting new entrant to the premium air travel market, and we
are delighted to be partnering with the airline to bring premium inflight
passenger connectivity onboard. With our years of dedicated expertise
delivering tailored solutions, we are the right partner for Starlux to bring
this young carrier to the fore of passenger connectivity.”
