Inflight mobile service provider, Sitaonair has forged a deal with Etisalat, the United Arab Emirates-based major mobile network operator (MNO) that will enable all subscribers to Etisalat’s business roaming packs, who fly with any airline using Sitaonair’s Mobile ONAIR network, to use their data and minutes inflight as part of their bundle at no extra cost.
Yann Cabaret, VP Customer Programs at Sitaonair, said: “We have long encouraged our mobile network operator partners to bring inflight mobile usage rates as close as possible to on-the-ground mobile usage rates. This roaming agreement takes this even further, with the world of inflight mobile connectivity opened up to all Etisalat customers when they fly, with no additional usage costs, and a seamless mobile experience up in the air, just as they have at home.”
