Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • LOT has activated Viasat Amara on one Boeing 787‑9, with two more installations due by end‑April — the initial step of a fleetwide rollout that will change passenger connectivity on its long‑haul network.
  • The deployment aligns with Viasat’s push to reengage airlines as it integrates ViaSat‑3 F2 and LEO capacity into its Amara multi‑orbit IFC offering (see source:4e45b43b-30d7-404c-87da-ee0030581246).
  • The move adds to a fragmented European connectivity landscape — complementing recent Viasat short‑haul rollouts (source:62d7fd6b-e663-4f9b-991c-c57bb6364855) and contrasting with carriers that have chosen Starlink for widebody fleets (source:9cb5ac8b-a8a0-4b08-8ec8-aa38cd7fa337).
