What are the operational/efficiency gains for airlines?
A17 There are several examples of how connectivity can improve operational efficiency for airlines. We see a lot of interest from airlines in the areas of AOC (Airline Operational Communications) and AAC (Airline Administrative communications). Telemedicine and cabin maintenance related communications are perfect examples of such services. The ability of an airline to prioritize and safely manage these different applications through one SBB satcom (that also serves cockpit ATS) is at the heart of the infrastructure offered by OnAir. There is no doubt that many more applications will be developed in the future to fully take advantage of having a connected aircraft.
