Wi-Fi in the skies: Azul to have 35 aircraft with free internet by year-end

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Azul has launched Azul Wi-Fi, which aims to offer free Wi-Fi to 35 aircraft, according to a statement sent to journalists. The company says that free onboard Wi-Fi will be a differential, given that the same service is billed by other companies in the industry.

“Our Modo Azul aims to complete our customers’ in-flight service, but now, for Azul customers, the Airplane Mode will be completely different and will revolutionize the way of flying, combining various entertainment options on board, including our popular live TV”, says Marco Barbosa, Azul’s Customer Experience Director.

Azul now has 17 aircraft with Wi-Fi installed and plans to increase this number to 35 by the end of 2021.

In addition, the company reported that this system is being installed by the company’s maintenance center in Campinas, São Paulo; previously, installantion was done abroad.

“This new line of work creates formal jobs and specialized labor in our key city at a time when Brazil needs help with its economic recovery,” Marco said.
