Aeroméxico to Equip Its Entire Embraer 190 Fleet with Wi-Fi
Aeroméxico announced this Tuesday that it has begun equipping its fleet of Embraer 190 aircraft with high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity, enhancing the travel experience for its passengers.
Six Aircraft Already Connected, with More to Come
To date, six Embraer 190 aircraft—operated by its subsidiary Aeroméxico Connect—are already equipped with onboard internet service, provided by Viasat. These aircraft are ready to offer connectivity starting June 3, 2025.
The plan is ambitious: to have eleven connected aircraft by the end of this year and to complete the implementation across all 34 Embraer 190s owned by the company by early 2027.

Andrés Castañeda, Executive Vice President of Digital and Customer Experience at Aeroméxico, emphasized the company’s commitment to excellence: “Our passengers will enjoy a more pleasant flight by staying connected throughout their journey with free messaging. They will also be able to stream their favorite content, send emails, or connect to their social media through a reliable, high-quality connection like the one Viasat provides when purchasing special packages.”
This upgrade in passenger experience positions Aeroméxico among the world’s most advanced airlines in terms of onboard digitalization and connectivity.
A Strategic Partnership with History
Aeroméxico and Embraer have maintained a commercial relationship since 2007. Meanwhile, the collaboration with Viasat began in 2018, when the telecommunications company started providing connectivity for some of the group’s aircraft.
These partnerships reflect a consistent strategy of technological investment, strengthening the airline’s value proposition and reinforcing its image as a modern operator focused on the real needs of its customers.
Free Connectivity for All: A Promise Fulfilled
Once the project is completed in 2027, Aeroméxico will offer free messaging across its entire flight network. This step enhances the user experience and raises the standard for the regional industry.
In-flight connectivity will no longer be a luxury but an essential part of the service, and Aeroméxico is determined to lead that change.
