“We are delighted to offer on-board Wi–Fi internet connectivity, which takes our onboard travel experience to global standards. We are also glad to be the first Indian carrier to be able to offer this service to our customers. We truly hope our customers enjoy this new addition as we continuously strive to surpass their expectations,” Vistara’s Chief Commercial Officer, Vinod Kannan, says.
The state-of-the-art wireless connectivity system by Panasonic Avionics on Vistara’s Dreamliner allows passengers to access the internet on all Wi-Fi enabled mobile phones, tablets and laptops, hence allowing them to stay seamlessly connected even at 35,000 feet above the ground.

However, as long as the airline is offering the service free of cost, it will gather information on system functionality and feedback on the overall customer experience to further fine-tune the service. The tariff plans for the same will be announced in due course.
Moreover, the airline’s In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) system, further allows those on-board to access a rich multimedia library of nearly 700 hours of engaging content that includes, movies, TV shows and audio compilations of various genres, as well as games.
