International carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) has selected SITAONAIR to make its global high-speed connected passenger experience ambitions a reality over GX Aviation.<\/p>\n
SITAONAIR is to deliver the upgrade of PAL\u2019s existing B777 Swift Broadband fleet to GX Aviation, powered by Honeywell\u2019s JetWave SATCOM terminal, together with line-fitting PAL\u2019s new Airbus A350s and A321s. Once complete, SITAONAIR will activate its rich nose-to-tail package of bespoke inflight connectivity (IFC) services, achieving a significantly enhanced and consistent connected experience for passengers and cabin crews.<\/p>\n
SITAONAIR\u2019s award-winning, intuitive Internet ONAIR portal offers contextualized and personalized content, satisfying digitally-demanding passengers over GX connectivity by mirroring their \u2018at-home\u2019 experience, and with free 30-minute Wi-Fi sessions and cheaper price plans on offer to all passengers.<\/p>\n
In addition, PAL customers will benefit from SITAONAIR\u2019s mobile connectivity over GX via SITAONAIR\u2019s Mobile ONAIR; ONAIR Plug\u2019s secure online channel for inflight card transactions and crew and passenger interactions; plus integrated, connected inflight entertainment from Zodiac Inflight Innovations. The close partnership between SITAONAIR and Zodiac Inflight Innovations with PAL plays an important part in the program\u2019s success.<\/p>\n
In April PAL announced their selection of SITAONAIR\u2019s state-of-the-art CrewTab solution to digitize cabin crews\u2019 operations. Coupled with GX connectivity, this solution\u2019s capabilities will further optimize the customer service experience and efficiencies CrewTab-equipped cabin crews can deliver in flight.<\/p>\n
