What happened
Finnair signed an agreement with SES to install multi-orbit in-flight connectivity on 18 Embraer -Embraer aircraft. The system utilizes SES's electronically steered array antenna to provide reliable internet access for passengers during flights. This connectivity combines SES's geostationary satellite services with low-earth orbit capacity provided by Eutelsat. The first aircraft equipped with the new service is expected to enter operation in 2027.

The partnership supports Finnair's goal of providing passengers with a seamless connected experience from gate to destination. The agreement requires Embraer to line-fit the Embraer aircraft with the new connectivity solution. This move validates the use of multi-orbit networks to enhance airline service offerings.
