Latin American Carrier Expands Connectivity Across Widebody Fleet
LATAM Airlines has completed its first long-haul flight with internet connectivity, marking a significant milestone for the Latin American airline industry. The new service, introduced on a Boeing 787-9, will complement the airline’s existing inflight entertainment platform, LATAM Play. With around $60 million earmarked for satellite-based connectivity, LATAM Airlines aims to equip its 60 long-haul aircraft with the service between 2026 and 2028. The project is part of a broader initiative to upgrade service standards across the widebody fleet, including cabin redesigns and new premium economy class. This development was first reported by AeroTime.
