Libyan Airlines Adds OnAir’s GSM and Wi-Fi to New A330s

Libyan Airlines will take delivery of its first Airbus A330s equipped with OnAir connectivity next month.

Passengers on long-haul flights to and from Tripoli will be able to stay in contact with family, friends and colleagues by phone, SMS and email. They will also be able to update social media accounts and use the internet.

“Usage of Mobile OnAir has proved popular on our A320s and we are very excited about having the full range of connectivity options on our new A330s from May,” said Fauzi Zaghonni of Libyan Airlines. “We are an ambitious airline, we were very keen to provide our passengers with the very best services particularly on our new fleet, which must include inflight connectivity. As we grow our route network by new fleet equipped with ’OnAir's connectivity, we need to be confident that we will be able to provide the same high level of service everywhere. OnAir is our solution to make these services available on board.”

Mobile OnAir and Internet OnAir have been line fitted on four Libyan Airlines’ A330-200 aircraft in time for the May delivery of two A330s, followed by another two next year. The aircraft will fly on long-haul international routes to Asia and Europe.
