What Hype is tracking

Adds another European LCC data point in the fast-expanding LEO inflight connectivity market, building on earlier Immfly/OneWeb announcements such as Immfly to deliver Eutelsat OneWeb LEO Wi‑Fi to narrowbody LCC/ULCC fleets.
Highlights how carriers are tying connectivity upgrades to passenger monetization beyond “just Wi‑Fi,” including improved inflight retail—an area that will influence supplier bids and retrofit economics.
Signals LEO IFC competitiveness is moving from pilots to commercial trials/rollouts, aligning with airline investments like Delta picking Amazon Leo for inflight Wi‑Fi on 500 aircraft from 2028 and Lufthansa picking Starlink for inflight Wi‑Fi.
