The Military & Aerospace Electronics take:

15 July 2025 - Chief Digital and Customer Experience Officer & EVP of Aeromexico Andres Castañeda said, “We are upgrading our Aeromexico Connect E190 fleet to deliver exceptional in-flight experiences on our short-haul routes. With Wi-Fi available on all our E190 aircraft by 2027, Aeromexico will be the first and only airline in Latin America to offer ad-supported free messaging across our entire network. This means our passengers can stay connected wherever they fly, with the option to purchase internet packages for enhanced connectivity."

“As global demand for in-flight connectivity skyrockets—with passengers increasingly expecting to stream movies and shows the way they do at home while 30,000 feet in the sky—we are thrilled to collaborate with Aeromexico and Embraer. Both companies value high-quality, fast, and reliable onboard Wi-Fi service to create an exceptional passenger experience,” said Don Buchman, SVP & GM, Commercial Aviation, Viasat.
