Inmarsat and Deutsche Telecom Celebrate 250th Activation of EAN

The European Aviation Network (EAN), inflight Wi-Fi service, can now be accessed by passengers on more than 250 aircraft across the continent, highlighting its accelerated rollout since entering commercial service.

EAN has been available to over 20 million passengers to date, travelling on more than 200,000 flights throughout Europe, covering key destinations such as London, Madrid, Barcelona, Geneva and Rome. It is currently available with British Airways, Iberia and Vueling, which are all part of International Airlines Group (IAG).

EAN was developed by Inmarsat, a world leader in global, mobile satellite communications, and Deutsche Telekom, in partnership with leading European companies such as Thales, Nokia, Airbus, Cobham and Eclipse Technics. 

EAN was designed for the needs of European aviation, delivering consistent inflight broadband across Europe, one of the world’s most congested airspaces, with uninterrupted coverage and significantly lower latency. EAN enables passengers to browse the internet, stream videos, check social media, use real-time interactive applications, and more.
