Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Signals growing adoption of factory-installed in-flight connectivity as airlines move from retrofit to line-fit solutions; this complements terrestrial initiatives like SCIT Group's planned nationwide air-to-ground network in Saudi Arabia (see SCIT Group to Launch Nationwide Air-to-Ground In‑Flight Connectivity Network in Saudi Arabia: https://hype.aero/?story=9ce6d740-d353-4885-99fe-fd581c70a13a).
  • Represents a fleet-level technology decision by Thai Airways amid wider fleet and financing shifts after the carrier's board recently rejected a widebody lease proposal (see Thai Airways board rejects widebody lease proposal: https://hype.aero/?story=9a56a83c-92d5-4527-88dc-a7ab77360830).
  • Has implications for 787 operators, lessors and OEM configuration options as other carriers continue to commit to the type (see Somon Air's and Air Astana's recent Boeing 787 commitments: https://hype.aero/?story=4d88f5df-59a8-4684-a64c-040b581d492a and https://hype.aero/?story=02d9ba97-e5ab-4c7c-964c-fcaca0859890).
