A major upgrade to onboard connectivity is underway. The goal is to make internet access faster and more reliable for passengers. This will be achieved by installing a new system on aircraft, which promises to deliver high speeds.

The rollout will involve a large number of planes, with work starting next year. Once complete, the network will be one of the largest of its kind.

Further details about the upgrade, including the types of aircraft involved and the expected benefits for passengers, are available from the company's announcement.
