CONNECTIVITY BRINGS PROFITS

Inmarsat research carried out with the London School of Economics has estimated inflight broadband will be worth $130bn within 20 years. Ancillary revenue, of which connectivity charges formed a part, was shown to be a significant contributor to airline profitability. The AR market has doubled since 2010, and will double again by 2020. The research is the first comprehensive independent study into connectivity's impact on airline profitability. inmarsataviation.com
