Immfly to bring Eutelsat OneWeb connectivity to disconnected narrowbody LCC/ULCC fleets
January 23, 2026
Immfly, the global technology company redefining the in-flight experience through its integrated ecosystem of entertainment, retail, and connectivity, says it is revolutionising onboard high-speed connectivity for low-cost and ultra-low-cost narrowbody fleets. The new satcom offering will equip formerly disconnected commercial aircraft with Gogo’s electronically steered antenna and Eutelsat’s OneWeb connectivity services, bringing enterprise-grade reliability and low-latency, high-speed service to traditionally underserved carriers lacking broadband access.
Leveraging Eutelsat’s OneWeb Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellation through Gogo hardware and network infrastructure, Immfly is finalizing the launch of an innovative, flexible service tailored to the evolving needs of airlines and their passengers. Launch is planned for 2026, and Immfly is currently accepting requests for pilot programmes.
Developed over the past year, this high-speed connectivity initiative marks a new era in in-flight performance by enabling low-cost airlines to deliver highly reliable, ground-like internet access that drives new revenue opportunities, improves operational efficiency, and deepens passenger engagement — all without compromising airline operations or incurring complex costs.
“This initiative marks a turning point for the LCC/ULCC industry,” said Jimmy M. von Korff, Executive Chairman and co-founder of Immfly. “Narrowbody aircraft remain disconnected, and we’re bringing them into the digital era through Eutelsat’s OneWeb high-speed LEO connectivity services and Gogo ESA hardware – enabling ancillary revenue growth, streamlining operations, and providing passengers with connectivity on par with their ground experiences.”
The solution combines Gogo’s next-generation Plane Simple electronically steered antenna (ESA) with Eutelsat’s OneWeb constellation services and Immfly’s modular, agnostic onboard server — Equilux Aero — to deliver a highly reliable, lightweight, cost-effective, and rapidly deployable high-speed connectivity solution that can be fully installed in just 24-30 hours. Initially targeting narrowbody fleets and regional jets that currently lack connectivity, the new service promises minimal operational disruption as airlines transition into the digital era.
“We remain committed to developing products and services that support aircraft of all sizes,” said Colin Quarless, Executive Vice President of Strategy and Business Development, Gogo. “As the conduit connecting the Immfly hardware with the OneWeb constellation, this perfectly demonstrates that the Gogo hardware can support the connectivity needs of high-density, narrowbody aircraft, as well as the unique requirements of business aviation and milgov customers.”
Claire Gombault, Director of Commercial Aviation for Eutelsat, added: “Eutelsat’s OneWeb constellation is bringing high-speed, low-latency connectivity to fleets long underserved by in-flight broadband. Together with Immfly and Gogo, we’re transforming the passenger experience while creating new opportunities to generate onboard revenue.”
