Viasat is expanding its long-standing relationship with Aeromexico, which has selected to retrofit its Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet with Viasat’s most advanced in-flight Wi-Fi solution. The fleet comprises 17 total aircraft, including eight B787-8s and nine B787-9s.

The Boeing 787-8s will be equipped first, with installation for the 787-9s quickly following. The first of these new Viasat-equipped aircraft is set to enter service later in 2025.
Viasat has provided in-flight connectivity on certain Aeromexico aircraft since 2018. The carrier’s decision to upgrade the Dreamliner in-flight Wi-Fi with Viasat’s connectivity system highlights its ongoing commitment to providing passengers and crew with an exceptional onboard experience, including streaming video, browsing, and real-time messaging throughout the flight.
Additionally, Aeromexico is using the Viasat Ads platform to offer its passengers free, ad-supported connectivity sessions (with streaming speeds capability).
To enhance its passenger experience goals, Aeromexico will continue to take advantage of Viasat’s high-capacity, Ka-band satellite network to provide a high-speed online experience on routes served by the Dreamliner fleet, including to cities such as Paris, Madrid, Amsterdam, Rome, London, Buenos Aires, Santiago de Chile, among others.
