SES Open Orbits™ Selected by Two National Carriers to Equip their Fleets with Truly Seamless Connectivity Services
Uzbekistan Airways is the latest airline to choose SES’s network, while Thai Airways plans to integrate future B787 aircraft to SES’s open architecture and multi-orbit Ka-band platform.
SES will be providing its SES Open Orbits™ global inflight connectivity network to upgrade the airline fleets of Uzbekistan Airways and Thai Airways’ future B787 aircraft. Through its participating partners, the SES Open Orbits™ network offers seamless connectivity across the skies, provides internet speeds up to 300 Mbps and is available on all production airframes, including line-fit offer and retrofit solutions tailored to the airline’s requirements.
Uzbekistan Airways is set to integrate the SES Open Orbits™ network into its in-flight connectivity (IFC) services on its upcoming A321neo aircraft from 2026. The Central Asian airline will introduce high-speed internet to connect passengers throughout their journey, including long-haul routes.
Last October, Thai Airways became the first Southeast Asian airline to adopt the SES Open Orbits™ network for its A321NX and B777 aircraft, with deliveries beginning in H2 2025. The national carrier of Thailand will also integrate the SES Open Orbits™ network on its future B787 aircraft, which will be line-fitted with delivery scheduled in 2026.
“The promise of consistent and reliable IFC around the world is truly appealing to airlines. We have seen a very good reaction in the market to our initial offering of MEO-GEO services, and we are very excited to see more airlines embrace our value proposition of a consistent and resilient service globally, a customised passenger experience and the ability to scale up quickly and efficiently,” said Andrew Ruszkowski, Global Head of Aviation of SES.
These new IFC services will be delivered through one of the SES Open Orbits™ connectivity service partners, Neo Space Group (NSG). SES Open Orbits™ is available via Airbus’ HBCplus Programme and on Boeing aircraft through Safran Passenger Innovations AeroConnect terminals.
