Comlux The Aviation Group today announced agreement to install OnAir's inflight mobile communications service on its flagship Airbus A320 Prestige. The long-range aircraft outfitted by Comlux America Completion Center, will complement the Comlux VIP wide-body Airbus fleet and will offer passengers a state-of-the-art cabin environment including the most modern air-to-ground communications capabilities.
Underlining Comlux's commitment to providing the highest service levels of connectivity, passengers will be able to stay connected inflight using their own mobile phones or BlackBerry®-type devices to make and receive inflight phone calls, send and receive emails and text messages, and access the Internet.
"Comlux passengers aboard this prestigious aircraft have a great need to stay connected at all times, so we are very pleased to enable them to do just that through OnAir voice and data connectivity services," said Benoit Debains, CEO of OnAir. "These are ideally suited for travellers' preferred communications tools, such as mobile phones and BlackBerry®-type devices."
Comlux Creatives has designed a contemporary cabin that visually strikes a note of understated luxury, and which echoes the worlds of business and pleasure.
"We are pleased to install OnAir's technology onboard our first VIP airliner to be completed by Comlux America. This aircraft will become the flagship of our company," said Ettore Rodaro, President of Comlux America.
Mobile OnAir uses the industry's most advanced and extensive infrastructure for mobile communications, along with Inmarsat SwiftBroadband, high capacity services from Inmarsat 4th generation satellites. This gives VIP passengers the best reach and performance available today.
