Virgin America is partnering with ViaSat Inc. to bring faster WiFi connectivity to the airline’s 10 new Airbus A320 aircraft deliveries, beginning in September.

The partnership with ViaSat allows Virgin America to tap into ViaSat-1, the highest capacity Ka-band satellite in the world offering 140 gigabits-per-second. For passengers, that means faster WiFi connectivity (typically 8–10 times faster than other in-flight WiFi systems) and high-quality video streaming.

“The idea behind our in-flight entertainment and connectivity offerings has always been to offer travelers more content, more interactivity and more of the choices they have access to on the ground,” said Ken Bieler, director of product design and innovation, Virgin America. “Bringing ViaSat’s satellite-based WiFi product to our new delivery aircraft will again allow us to make an industry-leading investment in our product.”

Virgin America will begin installation of ViaSat’s systems immediately – with the first Ka-band antenna equipped aircraft to take flight in the continental U.S. in September 2015. Aircraft scheduled for Hawai’i flights will be outfitted with ViaSat’s hybrid Ku/Ka-band antenna in early 2016. During the beta period rollout of the ViaSat product, Virgin America will offer free WiFi access on its first ViaSat equipped aircraft. The airline will introduce pricing for the service in 2016.
