Airtel joins ‘Seamless Alliance’ for in-flight connectivity

New Delhi: Bharti Airtel on Monday said it has joined the ‘Seamless Alliance’, which would empower mobile operators and airlines to extend their services into airline cabins, a company statement said here.

The formation of ‘Seamless Alliance’ was announced on Monday in Barcelona.

Through this alliance, the member operators, including Airtel, would be able to continuously provide their customers – via satellite technology – the same high speed, low latency connectivity from ground, to air and back again.

It would also significantly reduce costs for everyone involved while creating a smooth, positive user-experience.

Other founding members include OneWeb, Airbus, Delta and Sprint.
