Immfly and Volotea to Launch High‑Speed LEO Connectivity Trial, Expanding a Decade‑Long Partnership

• 12‑month trial of Immfly’s high‑speed connectivity, powered by the Equilux server, a Gogo ESA antenna, and the Eutelsat OneWeb LEO constellation

• Iridium narrowband rollout across Volotea’s Airbus A319/A320 fleet, enabling WhatsApp messaging and critical operational services

• New onboard retail program to be deployed network‑wide with crew EPOS, enhanced back‑office, and passenger features including pre‑order and in‑seat ordering

Hamburg, Germany, April 15, 2026 – Immfly today announced a major step forward in its long‑standing collaboration with Volotea: the first installation of its next‑generation high‑speed connectivity solution, operating a Gogo ESA antenna on the Eutelsat OneWeb LEO constellation. This milestone will bring a new level of in‑flight connectivity performance to passengers, enhance operational efficiency, and underpin Volotea’s move to a unified, data‑driven onboard ecosystem.

The pioneering installation, currently planned for the final quarter 2026, will be performed on an Airbus A320 aircraft that already carries Immfly’s Equilux onboard server and wireless in‑flight entertainment platform. This configuration enables a seamless upgrade path to high‑speed, low‑latency connectivity while preserving the aircraft’s existing digital services and minimizing additional hardware impact. The 12‑month trial is designed to validate operational and commercial uplift from high‑bandwidth services in a live environment.

In parallel, Immfly and Volotea are preparing a fleet‑wide rollout of Immfly’s Iridium‑based narrowband connectivity solution across the airline’s Airbus A319 and A320 fleet, expected to total between 44 and 46 aircraft this year, with the first antenna targeted for installation in Q3 2026. This narrowband capability will support passenger messaging, including WhatsApp, as well as critical operational services across the network, complementing the high‑speed trial and ensuring continuity of digital services regardless of route or aircraft.

Onboard Retail Transformation

With narrowband connectivity in place fleet-wide, Immfly and Volotea will advance into the next phase of their digital evolution, introducing a fully integrated retail program that will redefine the onboard shopping experience across the network.

The retail roadmap, planned for the second half of of 2026, includes a crew EPOS solution, a new back‑office system powered by Immfly’s enhanced data intelligence, and passenger‑facing features such as pre‑order and in‑seat ordering, developed in parallel and rolled out in phases to ensure a cohesive, unified retail experience.

All capabilities are designed to work with both narrowband and high‑speed connectivity, unlocking richer content, faster and more secure transactions, improved ancillary revenue, and more efficient digital cabin operations.

“This partnership milestone reflects the shared ambition between Immfly and Volotea to redefine what passengers can expect onboard,” said Pablo Linz, CEO and Co-founder, Immfly. “By combining narrowband and high‑speed LEO connectivity, next‑generation retail, and a full hardware upgrade, we’re enabling a step‑change in digital performance across the fleet. Volotea has been a trusted partner for more than a decade, and we’re proud to continue to support their vision with our most advanced solutions yet.”

An Example for the LCC / ULCC Industry

For the low-cost and ultra-low-cost segment, this program represents a distinctive blueprint: a first high‑speed LEO installation in a live airline environment, a simultaneous fleet‑wide narrowband rollout, and a coordinated, phased retail launch — all built on a single, unified platform. The initiative is designed to prove the commercial and operational value of combining connectivity tiers with data‑driven retail, creating a reference model for carriers seeking a full end‑to-end digital transformation.

Immfly and Volotea first partnered in 2015 with the installation of Immfly’s wireless in‑flight entertainment platform. Over the past decade, the collaboration has evolved from entertainment to retail and connectivity — now positioning Volotea as one of Immfly’s 360° customers. The combined scope underscores the airline’s confidence in Immfly’s technology roadmap and service delivery, and its commitment to transform both passenger experience and onboard operations.

“For more than a decade, our collaboration with Immfly has played an important role in how we evolve the onboard experience for our customers,” said Alex de Jesús, Chief Experience Officer at Volotea. “This next phase allows us to bring greater consistency and quality to the journey, with enhanced connectivity and more intuitive retail services. It’s about making every interaction onboard simpler, more connected and more enjoyable for our passengers, while continuing to support efficient operations across our network.”
