satellite internet service. With this bold move that made JetBlue
the first major U.S. airline to offer free Wi-Fi on every flighta,

onboard experience with great service at low fares.

While Wi-Fi has now become ubiquitous in public spaces,
providing free high-speed connectivity to aircraft traveling 500
mph at 35,000 feet was a unique challenge in 2013. To set a new
standard of onboard connectivity, JetBlue worked with satellite
internet provider Viasat to integrate the highest speeds offered
inflight, making it possible for customers to have the bandwidth to
stream video and use multiple devices at once—a radical capability
that many airlines are just now integrating into their service.
Through product testing and evolution, and the launch of
second-generation satellites, JetBlue and Viasat were able to
expand high-speed coverage across JetBlue’s network, paving the way
for its transatlantic expansion.
“JetBlue has been a disruptor to legacy carriers and a
trailblazer in onboard technology since its inception with seatback
entertainment at every seat, and we have continued to raise the
standard with our unparalleled inflight Wi-Fi,” said Mariya
Stoyanova, director of product development, JetBlue. “Recently,
we’ve seen other airlines adopt products and services that JetBlue
has had onboard for years—legacy carriers realize that when we’re
in-market, they can’t offer bare-bones service. We’re pushing the
entire U.S. airline industry to provide a better inflight
experience for travelers.”
Over the last decade, Viasat has continuously upgraded its
ground network infrastructure to improve stability, connectivity
and coverage, which resulted in an onboard performance and coverage
that extends to JetBlue flights over the Atlantic, Central America
and the Caribbean. Viasat's advanced satellite technology and
industry-leading inflight connectivity system has powered JetBlue's
Wi-Fi service, delivering an at-home internet experience in the air
on domestic and international routes alike. This year alone, more
than 15 million smartphones and 2 million laptops have connected to
Fly-Fi on JetBlue.
“It has been a thrill for our team to support JetBlue so closely
over the decade to disrupt what customers can reliably expect from
inflight Wi-Fi: streaming, browsing and staying connected with
family and the office while on a JetBlue aircraft,” said Don
Buchman, GM and VP, Commercial Aviation at Viasat. “This
collaboration includes constantly adapting to digital trends and
behaviors, such as popular, new apps or the improving quality of
video on the go.”
JetBlue and Viasat’s continuous adaptation to changing trends as
digital consumption habits shift enabled JetBlue's inflight Wi-Fi
to evolve and meet the changing needs of customers who are looking
for a multiscreen experience—the ability to access their favorite
streaming service from their laptop, check-in with loved ones and
update their social media with their smartphones, and cross-off
their work to-do lists. The multiscreen experience has contributed
to JetBlue customers using Fly-Fi on each flight four times as much
as customers on other airlines use their Wi-Fi services.
JetBlue is proud to lead the aviation industry in technical
achievements that have not only contributed to an award-winning
onboard experience but have pushed the industry standard forward.
Whether with seatback entertainment at every seat, free Wi-Fi for
all, the most legroom in coachb, or self-service snacks in the
JetBlue Pantry®, JetBlue consistently sets the standard for
high-quality onboard experience that has disrupted the aviation
industry since the airline’s inception in 2000.
