The flights will also have full broadband satellite connectivity in the future, that would allow passengers to enjoy services such as internet surfing, e-mail, social media, connecting flight information, instant messaging, real time travel services and destination deals.

The new system has been developed in collaboration with Global Eagle Entertainment Inc.
