Global Aircraft Wireless Routers Market: Overview

Increase in preference for in-flight connectivity

The rising number of air-passengers around the globe is compelling airline operators to improve passenger experience during flights. This is increasing the demand for connectivity, especially long haul-flights making the airlines adopt to aircraft internet connectivity solutions. Several airlines provide in-flight Wi-Fi to passengers traveling in the first-class and the business class.

Moreover, regulatory bodies across the world are amending regulations to promote the use of electronic devices in aircraft. For instance, in December 2018, regulatory bodies in India introduced Flight and Maritime Connectivity Rules to enable passengers to surf the Internet and make calls using their devices. The factors will lead the expansion of the global aircraft wireless routers market at a CAGR of over 12% during the forecast period.

Advancements in the field of satellite-based internet services

With the increasing focus on aircraft connectivity to diminish the time and the cost associated with the maintenance, several airlines are readily adopting advanced connected technology solutions. For instance, GX Aviation, a global broadband-based high-speed internet provider, is paving the way for enhanced aircraft connectivity. This network is a technology by Inmarsat, and its operated network of High-Throughput Satellites (HTS), allows seamless connectivity for onboard passengers in an aircraft. Such advancements in the field of satellite-based internet services are expected to have a positive impact on the overall market growth.
