American Eagle, the regional branch of American Airlines, plans to introduce in-flight connectivity to nearly 500 regional aircraft over the next two years, starting from the beginning of 2024.
American Airlines currently provides high-speed Wi-Fi on more than 900 mainline aircraft, bringing the total number of its aircraft with satellite connection to more than 1,400 following the introduction of Intelsat’s Electronically Steered Array (ESA) antennae to American’s regional fleet.
The Intelsat ESA antenna is multi-orbit, interoperating on both Intelsat’s geo-stationary satellites and a constellation of Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites.
