Passengers on Air Cote d’Ivoire's flights can now expect a connected experience, as the airline has signed up for inflight passenger connectivity services from SITAONAIR.

The new deal will deliver connectivity solutions to Air Cote d’Ivoire's brand new A320s, in the form of Internet ONAIR and Mobile ONAIR products.

With Internet ONAIR onboard, the airline will offer passengers seamless inflight internet access, connecting their personal devices just as they would with a public Wi-Fi hotspot.

Mobile ONAIR will enable passengers to make phone calls, send texts and use their mobile phone data inflight, through an extensive number of roaming partners in Africa and across the world.

In June 2017, SITAONAIR’s teams will begin activating Internet ONAIR and Mobile ONAIR on five new Air Côte d’Ivoire A320s equipped with Airbus’ Airline Network Architecture (ALNA) server platform.

The project is set for completion in 2019, when Air Côte d’Ivoire will take delivery of the last of the five new A320s.
