ViaSat Brings Wireless IFE on Board Tigerair Australia
Tigerair Australia has selected ViaSat’s in-flight entertainment (IFE) solution for all domestic flights. Using the airline’s app or a web browser, passengers will be able to access Hollywood movies and television shows, on a pay-per-view basis, on their own devices – including programming from Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation and Fox Networks Group.
Don Buchman, vice-president, Commercial Mobility, ViaSat, says a lot of the low-cost carrier’s initial challenges were around content. But now, the airline has “a pretty groundbreaking deal with Fox that allows them to go to market with a new model, where all the risk isn’t born upfront with the airline,” he said. “What we did is support all of the content, the loading and everything to make that dream come true.”
