As China’s domestic travel and tourism industry shows signs of recovery, inflight connectivity service providers are looking to the world’s most populous country as a growth market. After all, the lion’s share of China’s domestic airline fleet is still not fitted with IFC systems that support broadband Internet for passengers.
By the end of 2020, China’s three largest carriers Air China, China Eastern and China Southern “had reported demand returning to 90 percent of 2019 levels, but that changed quickly.

Hughes
Hughes Network Systems has an interesting position in the discussion. Under an agreement
forged late last yearwith LEO satellite operator OneWeb, Hughes is to develop and manufacture the core module for OneWeb user terminals – for both electronically and mechanically steered antennas – including for the aero market and other verticals.
Company vice president Reza Rasoulian told Runway Girl Network that while ESA technology “continues to get better and better” and will likely be beneficial to the aero ecosystem in time, Hughes expects them to be fielded “over the next three to five years”.
We are eager to add ESAs to our toolkit to help airlines achieve their connectivity needs. We don’t really see any solution in the near-term. There are still some challenges that folks are trying to solve.
