In commemoration of the completion of inflight internet installation of all 14 Embraer E190s, Japan Airlines’ regional subsidiary J-AIR will launch free unlimited video streaming onboard. The limited time offer runs from July 12th through September 30, 2024 on select flights.
On Thursday (July 20, 2024), Japan Airlines announced that by July 11th their J-AIR regional subsidiary will complete the installation of inflight internet on all 14 of their Embraer E190s. In celebration of this milestone, J-AIR will offer unlimited free inflight video streaming from July 12th through September 30, 2024. The ‘J-Air Unlimited Streaming Service’ is a first for a Japanese airline and will be made possible through a collaboration with Intelsat. In addition to the existing inflight internet services that enable internet use, e-mail, and social network services via onboard Wi-Fi, guests will now enjoy free unlimited video streaming during the service period.
In Thursday’s announcement, J-AIR’s President, Shunsuke Honda, said,
“I tried watching my favorite movie during a test flight and the 2-hour journey felt incredibly short. We are looking forward to everyone experiencing this service and are excited about welcoming more passengers aboard J-AIR flights.”
Also commenting on the connectivity collaboration, Intelsat’s Director – Airline Partnerships, APAC, John Hopkins, added
“Technological innovations are delivering higher capacity satellite communications to J-AIR flights. Intelsat’s reliable satellite connectivity will soon provide smooth use of email, streaming services and social networking for all passengers. We are confident that J-AIR passengers will be satisfied with this new service.”
The free streaming service will be available on select J-AIR flights between Tokyo-Haneda and Misawa, Akita, Ube, Miyazaki, Osaka (Itami), Sendai and Kagoshima, among others.
Headquartered at Osaka International Airport (Itami), J-AIR is the regional airline for the Japan Airlines (JAL) Group. The carrier operates regional jet flights throughout Japan, with a network that extends from Memanbetsu in the north, to the Amami Islands in Kagoshima Prefecture in the south, and numerous points in between.
