Gilat and Intelsat are working together to address the increased demand for in-flight communication services all over the world.
Gilat Satellite Networks and Intelsat have expanded their strategic partnership with multimillion-dollar agreements to increase in-flight connectivity (IFC) in the Americas.

Amir Yafe, VP of Mobility & Global Accounts at Gilat, added: “The post-Covid recovery of in-flight connectivity continues! With this new expansion of Intelsats network, our IFC solution is helping to deliver better access to reliable, high-quality in-flight communications to a growing number of air travellers.
