The kit, named fflya, was installed onboard a Wizz Air UK Airbus A321, in cooperation with Storm Aviation and Wizz Air UK Technical Services. With ground testing complete, the company is now readying the system for rollout to passengers. For Wizz Air UK passengers, that means connectivity will soon be available on flights.
Passengers connect via a customizable app, giving airlines an opportunity to generate ancillary revenue. fflya has been specifically designed with low-cost carriers in mind. It’s not a huge capacity, high-speed network, the likes of which are found on full service and long-haul airlines. Rather, this is a needs-based system, providing the most basic connectivity for the most essential and low capacity functions, according to simpleflying.com.
