KUALA LUMPUR, June 3 (Bernama) -- Intelsat, operator of the world’s largest integrated satellite and terrestrial network, has been chosen by Royal Brunei Airlines (RB) to provide multi-orbit inflight connectivity service to the airline’s Airbus A320neo fleet.
Intelsat in a statement said this selection solidifies its position as one of the top providers of broadband service among Asia-Pacific airlines.
“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.
“The Intelsat team is proud to have been selected by RB to deliver a product that will keep the airline on the cutting edge,” said Intelsat Chief Commercial Officer, Mike DeMarco.
Meanwhile, RB Chief Executive Officer, Captain Sabirin Haji Abdul Hamid said: “We are 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 travellers across the region.”
Established in 1974, RB is the national carrier of Brunei Darussalam, providing scheduled services across Asia, the Middle East, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, Intelsat will start installing the new multi-orbit system on the A320s, including the new electronically steered array (ESA) antenna, which is less than seven centimetres tall and delivers unmatched reliability connecting to both its geostationary (GEO) satellites and low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites.
