Aeromexico, Mexico’s global airline, will upgrade its Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet with Viasat’s in-flight Wi-Fi solution, Viasat announced on Feb. 20.

The upgrade includes 17 total aircraft: eight Boeing 787-8s to be upgraded first, and nine Boeing 787-9s following. The upgraded aircraft is set to enter service later in 2025.

Viasat has provided in-flight connectivity (IFC) on certain Aeromexico aircraft since 2018. During their partnership, Aeromexico has used the Viasat Ads platform to offer its passengers free, ad-supported connectivity sessions. 

“We work hard to elevate each passenger’s journey to an extraordinary experience and we know that connectivity is essential,” said Andrés Castañeda, chief of Digital & Customer Experience officer and executive vice president of Aeromexico. “Viasat is a trusted provider for Aeromexico, and with a resilient, multi-orbit satellite roadmap, we look forward to continuing to work together to bring high-quality in-flight Wi-Fi to our customers long into the future.”

Aeromexico said it will continue to enhance its passenger experiences with Viasat’s Ka-band satellite network. The Dreamliner fleet services include flights to Paris, Madrid, Amsterdam, Rome, London, Buenos Aires, Santiago de Chile and more.

Viasat also signed a deal with Taiwan’s Luxury Airline Starlux to upgrade 48 aircraft to Viasat’s IFC system earlier this month.
