Royal Brunei Airlines (RB) has selected Intelsat to provide multi-orbit inflight connectivity services for its fleet of seven Airbus A320neo aircraft, which serve the Asia-Pacific region.
Intelsat will begin installing the new multi-orbit system on the A320s in the fourth quarter of 2025, including the new electronically steered array (ESA) antenna, which is less than 7cm-tall and is designed to reliably connect to Intelsat’s geostationary (GEO) satellites and low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites.
Captain Sabirin Haji Abdul Hamid, CEO of the airline said, “We’re excited to bring this next generation of connectivity to our Airbus A320neo fleet, ensuring our guests stay seamlessly connected wherever their journeys take them. This technology not only sets a new standard for in-flight internet, but also reflects our commitment to innovation and delivering an exceptional experience for travellers across the region.”
“Royal Brunei’s passengers will soon benefit from reliable, multi-orbit connectivity that will provide the same fast and dependable internet access they enjoy at home no matter where or when they fly,” added Mike DeMarco, chief commercial officer at Intelsat.
