02 March 2020: Air Cte d'Ivoire has selected SITAONAIR as their inflight connectivity partners for its new fleet of A320neo aircraft. It will have both SITAONAIR's Mobile ONAIR and Internet ONAIR Wi-Fi over Inmarsat's cutting-edge GX Aviation network.
SITAONAIR's Internet ONAIR portal also provides Air Cte d'Ivoire with a host of additional services with the potential for new ancillary revenue, as well as personalized content for its passengers. Also the addition of SITAONAIR's Mobile ONAIR services on top of enhanced Wi-Fi connections offers the airline and its passengers the best of both worlds. Passengers can enjoy a seamless mobile connection in the air, as on the ground, while increased connectivity bandwidth provides enhanced reliability.
Mr. Ren Decurey, Chief Executive Officer, Air Cte d'Ivoire, commented "It's true that passenger expectations are growing. There is also increasing pressure to provide tailored services that cover the breadth of our passengers' needs and data consumption. As Air Cte d'Ivoire continues to concentrate on enhanced, new generation inflight connectivity services for true passenger satisfaction, SITAONAIR is the obvious, trusted partner to support our ambitions."
Stephan Egli, Commercial VP Middle-East, Africa & Europe, SITAONAIR, added "Having previously deployed SITAONAIR's Internet ONAIR solution over SwiftBroadband, the move to GX reflects Air Cte d'Ivoire's dedication to delivering true passenger satisfaction that's future-proofed. By offering mobile and Wi-Fi services on board, SITAONAIR is able to provide an inflight connectivity service to passengers that delivers a unified, seamless and fast experience that costs less. SITAONAIR is proud to be Air Cte d'Ivoire's long-term partner in this venture."
