This progress includes the addition of two new airline customers. HBCplus will allow their passengers to enjoy a seamless high-bandwidth on-board connectivity experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Airbus\u2019 progress also includes further expansion of its satellite network provider partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thai Airways International will equip its 12 new A321LRs with the HBCplus Ka system. These aircraft are due to be delivered in Q4 2025. Meanwhile, Turkish Airlines has chosen HBCplus to equip 14 new A350 Family aircraft. To date, 13 airlines have now selected HBCplus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2024\/10\/airbus-and-toshiba-to-partner-on-superconductivity-research.html\">Airbus and Toshiba to partner on superconductivity research<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are delighted to welcome our new customers for Airbus&#8217; HBCplus connectivity platform\u201d, Tim Sommer, VP Head of Connected Aircraft Programme at Airbus said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ENHANCED MULTI-ORBIT FLEXIBILITY COMING TO HBCPLUS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A new Memorandum of Understanding has been signed with Telesat as a Ka band\/LEO satellite network operator (SNO).
