Since India relaxed its laws on inflight connectivity, the race has been on for the first Indian airline to get connected. Although other carriers have made noises about inflight WiFi, it looks like full-service carrier Vistara is taking the lead. Thanks to a new partnership with NELCO, we could see Vistara offering inflight WiFi as soon as February this year.
Vistara looks to be winning the race to become the first connected airline in India. The Economic Times reports that Vistara has firmed up a partnership with NELCO and is likely to launch its inflight WiFi services very soon.
India’s telecom secretary Anshu Prakash told the Economic Times,
“Vistara has tied up with Nelco and they have taken transponder space from ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation)…they had come to us for spectrum allocation which we have done. And they will be launching these services very shortly.”
According to the report, NELCO will provide Vistara with transponder space within its network of very small aperture terminal (VSAT) solutions. The Indian government has also allocated spectrum to Vistara ahead of its launch of services.
