Low-cost in-flight Internet access to replace Boeing Connexion death
-

One out, one in. Boeing Connexion will close by the end of this year. Too expensive to operate, too few demand. Well, ASiQ thinks it could fill the gap, and that it’s a viable market.
The company offers a package that includes an Inmarsat broadband link, with WIFI access and compatible with the aircraft’s existing onboard network.
ASiQ is offering airlines a new Internet platform over a 5 years lease from as little as $15 per flight. For narrow body aircraft the lease could be as low $5.00 per flight. This, combined with ASiQ’s low access fees and Freemailconnection, will make the system even more attractive to airlines, said a company release.
The thing is: Why Boeing hasn’t considered this alternative before?
