Corsair’s Airbus A330neo Fleet to Feature Inflight Wi-Fi by SITA

Corsair, a French long-haul airline, is offering members of Le Club Corsair loyalty program with inflight WiFi when flying the airline’s new Airbus A330neo fleet.

By linking the passenger list to the Wi-Fi system onboard, passengers need only provide their last name and seat number to access the internet.

Once passengers have enrolled, they will be offered a customized price plan depending on their FFP status and class of travel.

Payment, where required, can be made through multiple methods including major credit cards and Apple Pay.

SITA Passenger IT Insights 2020 shows that today more than two-thirds of all passengers opt to use their own device onboard to stay connected or access entertainment. SITA’s Internet OnAir is designed to offer passengers the same uninterrupted connectivity at 30,000 feet as they receive at home.

Pascal de Izaguirre, CEO of Corsair, said, “Today Wi-Fi is a core element of the overall passenger experience onboard our fleet of flagship Airbus A330neo aircraft. With most of our customers bringing their own devices onboard, they expect access to fast, uninterrupted connectivity. In the few weeks since we have put the new aircraft into service, we have already seen strong take up of the Wi-Fi offering provided by SITA.”

SITA’s Internet OnAir will be available across all five of Corsair’s A330neos as they are introduced into the fleet over the coming months, with the second aircraft taking to the skies this month.

Sébastien Fabre, CEO of SITA for Aircraft, said, “COVID19 has accelerated a trend to passengers using their own devices onboard, enabling an increasingly touchless cabin. With that comes a greater demand for reliable connectivity. We are therefore pleased to support Corsair in bringing this experience to their passengers for the first time.”
