Airlines Seek Faster, More Reliable In-Flight Wi-Fi with Amazon Leo
American Airlines is exploring a partnership with Amazon for its low-Earth-orbit satellite network, Amazon Leo, to provide faster and more reliable in-flight Wi-Fi. The airline has long relied on traditional satellite providers and recently announced plans to offer free Wi-Fi to loyalty members through a partnership with AT&T. American is considering Amazon Leo as an alternative to its current mix of Wi-Fi providers, with the potential to improve performance and pricing. This development may indicate a shift in the airline’s connectivity strategy, as it looks to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving market. The information was first reported by AeroTime.
