Canada’s Porter Airlines and Viasat announced Viasat’s in-flight connectivity and wireless In-Flight Entertainment, or IFE, systems will be factory-installed on an additional 20 new Embraer E195-E2 aircraft on order. The first of these new aircraft are scheduled to begin service next year. Porter Airlines is Canada’s only airline to offer free, fast in-flight Wi-Fi across its entire Embraer E195-E2 fleet. Powered by Viasat’s Ka-band satellite technology and efficient use of bandwidth, connected Porter passengers aboard its Embraer E195-E2 aircraft are able to stream video or music, browse websites, use email or apps – all on their own personal electronic devices. Porter placed an initial order with Viasat to outfit 30 E195-E2 aircraft. The majority of these are installed and operating today.
