\"Intelsat<\/p>\n

Intelsat, an operator of one of the world\u2019s largest integrated satellite and terrestrial networks and a leading provider of in-flight connectivity (IFC), has announced the beginning of Intelsat\u2019s in-flight connectivity services in Indian skies through an agreement with Nelco, India\u2019s leading satellite communications service provider.<\/p>\n

\n

This agreement is welcome news for Intelsat\u2019s airline partners and flyers as they will enjoy end-to-end broadband coverage on domestic and international aircraft flying to or from an Indian airport, as well as aircraft flying over the country.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Intelsat\u2019s IFC service enables airline passengers a seamless at-home and in-office connectivity experience. Further, it allows an airline to differentiate itself, enhancing the passenger experience while driving passenger loyalty and optimizing flight operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition to expanding our service coverage area for current customer airlines, our agreement with Nelco opens the possibility for Intelsat to serve India\u2019s domestic airlines,\u201d said Jeff Sare, President of Commercial Aviation at Intelsat. \u201cThis is a fast-growing airline market, and there is considerable untapped potential for IFC growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

\u201cWe are proud that Nelco has forged this relationship with in-flight connectivity pioneer Intelsat to offer Aero IFC services on their customer aircraft,\u201d said PJ Nath, Managing Director & CEO of NELCO. \u201cAs India\u2019s leading Satcom service provider offering best-in-class services, we are now creating a great opportunity through this relationship with Intelsat for further growth of our Aero IFC services in the country in the coming years \u2013 and we intend to be a leader in this market in India.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Nelco has offered the Aero IFC services for more than two years with plans to introduce these services to more airlines in collaboration with its global partners.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Nelco will provide these services using Intelsat\u2019s IS-33e high throughput satellite. IS-33e was launched in 2016 that provides C and Ku-band connectivity to parts of Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Intelsat\u2019s IS-33e satellite is approved by Indian government regulators, paving the way for coverage with no interruptions or blackout zones.<\/p>\n

The service is available on Intelsat partner airlines and their passengers on aircraft now.<\/p>\n
