LOT Polish Airlines has started in-flight connectivity (IFC) serve on the first Boeing 787 Dreamliner plane, supplied by Viasat‘s Amara service. The Polish airline confirmed March 6 that the IFC rollout is underway for its long-haul fleet.

LOT signed with Viasat in mid-2024 to equip 15 Boeing aircraft in its fleet with in-flight Wi-Fi as part of a major upgrade that includes upgrading the internal cabin design and seat replacements.

LOT said it will be offered on two additional dreamliners by the end of April. Online access will be gradually introduced on additional aircraft from the carrier’s Boeing 787 fleet.

The airline is offering the service complimentary to business class and members of the European Miles & More loyalty program. Paid access is available in two tiers: one geared toward messaging ($7) and another geared toward streaming ($29).

“Internet access has become an expected part of the offering on long-haul flights. We view its implementation across our fleet as a natural stage in the development of our product, one that responds to the needs of passengers,” Izabela Leszczyńska, director of Product Development and Customer Experience Office for LOT Polish Airlines said in a release. “We wanted a solution that would ensure stability and high quality, which is why we chose a partner with well-established experience in aviation.”
