Intelsat has reached an agreement with long-time customer Japan Airlines (JAL) to upgrade about 50 Boeing 737s and 767s to the company\u2019s 2Ku inflight connectivity solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe value the trust that JAL has placed in Intelsat throughout our 10-year relationship,\u201d said Dave Bijur, Senior Vice President of Commercial for Intelsat Commercial Aviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJAL was Intelsat\u2019s first non-U.S. commercial aviation customer, and we look forward to continuing to support JAL\u2019s market-leading inflight connectivity service in Japan where their guests enjoy free service.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to the fleet of Boeing 737s and 767s, JAL\u2019s subsidiary airline J-AIR is currently installing Intelsat\u2019s 2Ku system on the carrier\u2019s fleet of Embraer E190 aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
