VistaJet has become the first business aviation customer of Rockwell Collins to adopt Inmarsat's Jet ConneX, a provider of fast broadband connectivity. Rockwell Collins is a value added reseller of the Jet ConneX service as part of its ARINCDirect offering, which is expected to be fully available worldwide in early 2016. It will support both voice and high-speed internet via Inmarsat's satellites over the Ka-band.

“Our customers are increasingly demanding faster and more reliable in-flight internet service as a routine part of their business travel,” comments COO at VistaJet Nick Van Der Meer. “With the ARINCDirect service, VistaJet passengers will be guaranteed the connections they need.”

VP at Rockwell Collins David Stanley adds: “As aircraft capacity increases and passengers use more devices, Rockwell Collins will enable early adopters like VistaJet to provide a reliable global solution with the highest level of bandwidth to meet their customers' needs.”

This technology will align with VistaJet's young fleet, which has an average age of under two years and includes over 50 Global and Challenger jets.
