Panasonic Avionics has signed an agreement that will see it develop in-flight internet and mobile solutions in Chinese airspace.
A memorandum of understanding (MoU) with China Telecom Satellite Communications Ltd will see the two companies jointly develop in-flight connectivity solutions for Panasonic’s 36 non-Chinese airline customers when flying over China.
“While there is still work to be done in order to complete the cooperation agreement, we have made great progress with China Telecom Satellite towards providing this very important service to our airline customers and their passengers. We believe China Telecom Satellite will be a very strong and effective partner for China’s in-flight communication market,” said Paul Margis, CEO of Panasonic Avionics.
The two parties are now working to complete a formal contract over the coming weeks and plan to begin offering commercial in-flight connectivity services in the fourth quarter of 2013.
