Intelsat IFC coming to Royal Brunei Airlines
June 3, 2025
Intelsat, operator of one of the world’s largest integrated satellite and terrestrial network, was selected by Royal Brunei Airlines (RB), the country’s flag carrier, to provide multi-orbit inflight connectivity service to the airline’s Airbus A320neo fleet.
“Royal Brunei’s passengers will soon benefit from reliable, multi-orbit connectivity that will provide the same fast and dependable internet access they enjoy at home no matter where or when they fly,” said Mike DeMarco, Intelsat Chief Commercial Officer. “The Intelsat team is proud to have been selected by RB to deliver a product that will keep the airline on the cutting edge.”
RB provides scheduled services across Asia, the Middle East, Australia and the UK. Intelsat in the fourth quarter of 2025 will start installing the new multi-orbit system on the A320s, including the new electronically steered array (ESA) antenna, which is less than seven centimeters tall and delivers unmatched reliability connecting to both Intelsat’s geostationary (GEO) satellites and low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites.
Captain Sabirin Haji Abdul Hamid, RB Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We’re excited to bring this next generation of connectivity to our Airbus A320neo fleet, ensuring our guests stay seamlessly connected wherever their journeys take them. This technology not only sets a new standard for in-flight internet, but also reflects our commitment to innovation and delivering an exceptional experience for travelers across the region. We believe that staying connected in the air is a necessity, and we’re proud to partner with Intelsat in delivering this next-level experience to our travelers across the Asia-Pacific region.”
