In-Flight-WLAN hebt ab: Das himmelhohe Rennen um Satellitenkonnektivität 2024–2030

Bis 2030 wird die globale IFC-Konnektivität auf kommerziellen Flügen allgegenwärtig sein; Euroconsult schätzt, dass sich die Zahl IFC-ausgestatteter Flugzeuge weltweit von etwa 9.900 im Jahr 2021 auf über 21.000 bis 2030 verdoppeln wird. Nordamerika ist Wegbereiter: JetBlue führte 2017 flächendeckend kostenloses WLAN ein, Delta startete 2023 mit kostenlosem WLAN (gesponsert von T-Mobile), und United sowie American rüsten Ka-Band-GEO-Systeme von Viasat auf, während Starlink-LEO-Tests laufen.
