SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Turkish
Airlines, which flies to more countries and international
destinations than any other airline, and Skyroam, a leading global
mobile WiFi company, today announced a new partnership designed to
address the struggle of global connectivity that many international
travelers face while abroad. Skyroam has connected more than 15
million users worldwide in over 130+ countries, and this innovative
new partnership provides Turkish Airlines' customers access to this
premium global network, so they never worry about being connected
wherever work, holiday, or personal travel may take them.
Previously, travelers were forced to find, buy and install new
SIM cards in each country, pay high roaming fees, or use slow
public WiFi networks. Turkish Airlines' customers can now use a
Skyroam Solis mobile hotspot, powered by patented Virtual SIM
technology, to connect securely to over 200 local networks in 130+
countries, with just once device and no SIMs.
"We're thrilled to give today's traveler an advancement in
technology that provides easy access to WiFi and data, and makes
their global connectivity easier and more affordable than ever,"
said Skyroam President, Eric Plam.
"Our partnership with Turkish Airlines is critical for both
companies as we seek to bring more value and a seamless travel
experience to all global travelers."
Turkish Airlines customers can rent a Skyroam Solis for three,
seven or fourteen days at a time, and up to 24 hours ahead of their
trip. Pick up is available in Turkey's Istanbul airport (IST), Singapore's Changi Airport (SIN), London's Heathrow Airport (LHR) and
San Francisco International
Airport (SFO). Once the trip is complete, customers can simply
return the Solis via a provided pre-paid shipping label.
Miles&Smiles members can also earn up to 500 miles with each
rental.
"Since one of our main goals is to keep Turkish Airlines
customers connected during their travels, we are excited to partner
with Skyroam under this collaboration," said Turkish Airlines
Acting SVP of Marketing, Arif Ali Gezmisoglu. "Our customers can
even earn miles by renting Skyroam devices."
