Hiki koke i nā malihini ma Spirit Airlines ke nānā, kahawai, heʻenalu a me nā kikokikona mai 30,000 kapuaʻi. Ke kau inoa nei ʻo Spirit Airlines i kahi ʻaelike i kēia lā e hoʻokomo iā Wi-Fi ma kāna mau mokulele āpau ma ke kauwela 2019, e hāʻawi ana i nā koho hou aku i nā malihini e hoʻomaikaʻi i kā lākou ʻike inflight. Hoʻohana ʻo Spirit i nā ʻauwaʻa mokulele hou loa ma ka ʻāina, ʻo kā mākou Fit Fleet®, a e lilo nō hoʻi ia i mea lawe kaʻa kūʻai haʻahaʻa loa ma ʻAmelika e hāʻawi iā Wi-Fi.

"ʻOliʻoli mākou i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka ʻike inflight Guest me ka hoʻohui ʻana o Wi-Fi hou," wahi a Ted Christie, ka Pelekikena o Spirit Airline. "Ma ke kauwela e hiki mai ana, pono e lako pono nā mokulele a pau o kā mākou mau'auwaʻa e mālama i kā mākou mau malihini i ka lewa. ʻO ia wale nō kekahi o nā hoʻopukapuka he nui a mākou i hana ai a e hoʻomau ʻia e hana no kā mākou mau malihini.

ʻO ka hoa hana ʻenehana Wi-Fi ʻo Spirit Airlines, ʻo Thales Group, he alakaʻi ʻenehana honua no nā manawa koʻikoʻi i ka aerospace, pale a palekana, a me nā mākeke kaʻa, ke lawe mai nei i ka ʻōnaehana Ka-band HTS (High Throughput Satellite) kiʻekiʻe ma luna o ka mokulele. Na ka ʻenehana e lawe mai i ka Spirit Guests i ka mākaʻikaʻi pūnaewele kiʻekiʻe a me ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana i nā ʻike e like me ka mea e loaʻa iā lākou ma ka home. Ma 2021, e ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ʻenehana hou, me ka hoʻomaka ʻana o SES-17, kahi satelite hou i hoʻohana ʻia e SES a kūkulu ʻia e Thales Alenia Space, kahi e hoʻonui ai i ka wikiwiki a me ka uhi ʻana i kahi pae i ʻike ʻole ʻia ma ka ʻoihana. Manaʻo ʻia ʻo Spirit Wi-Fi e hāʻawi koke i ka uhi lawelawe no 97% o nā ala ala o Spirit ma ke komo ʻana i ka lawelawe.

"Haʻaheo ʻo Thales i ka hui pū ʻana me ka Spirit e hōʻailona i kahi au hou o ka ʻike malihini i ka pilina a lawe mai i nā hoʻonā e hiki ai i ka lā ʻapōpō i kēia lā," wahi a Dominique Giannoni, Luna Nui o Thales InFlyt Experience. "Ke kālele nei mākou i ke kākoʻo ʻana i ka misionari a Spirit a me ke kōkua ʻana i ka hoʻokumu ʻana i nā manawa hou i ko mākou hana pū ʻana e hāʻawi i kahi ʻike kaʻa kaʻa."

E hāʻawi ʻo Spirit i ka mākaʻikaʻi pūnaewele kiʻekiʻe a me nā koho streaming e hoʻomaka ana me ke kumu kūʻai awelika o $6.50, me ke kumukūʻai i manaʻo ʻia e haʻahaʻa a kiʻekiʻe paha ma muli o ke ala a me ke koi.

ʻO Spirit Wi-Fi kekahi o nā hoʻomaikaʻi e piʻi mai ana no ka mokulele, ma ke ʻano o kāna hoʻohiki e hoʻomau i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana a me ka hoʻokomo ʻana i ka malihini.

"Ua maopopo iā mākou ʻo ka lele ʻana no ke kālā liʻiliʻi he ʻāpana wale nō ia o kā mākou ʻōlelo hoʻohiki," wahi a Christie. “Hoʻohiki mākou e hele hou aku. E hoʻolohe mau mākou i kā mākou poʻe malihini, a e ʻike mau lākou i kā mākou hoʻolaʻa ʻana i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka lawelawe no lākou. E hoʻomau mākou i ka hoʻohui ʻana i nā wahi hou hoihoi, ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i kā mākou kaʻina hoʻopaʻa inoa, ka papahana lele pinepine a me ka ʻike inflight, a me ka hoʻomau ʻana i ka hoʻolaʻa iā mākou iho e hāʻawi i nā kaiāulu kahi a mākou e noho ai a hana.

Ua hoʻolauna ʻo Christie i ka Spirit's Invest in the Guest hoʻohiki me ka hoʻolaha ʻana o ka hoʻokomo ʻana iā Wi-Fi.

"ʻO kā mākou ʻōlelo hoʻohiki e hoʻomau i ka hele ʻana, e hoʻomau i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana, a e hoʻokomo i kā mākou mau malihini," wahi a Christie ma ke ʻano o ka hoʻohiki. "Ke manaʻo nei mākou e hoʻomaikaʻi i kā mākou ʻike malihini i kēlā me kēia manawa a mākou e loaʻa ai."

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

In 2021, the state-of-the-art technology will get even better, with the launch of SES-17, a new satellite operated by SES and built by Thales Alenia Space, which will increase speeds and coverage to an unprecedented level in the industry.
“Thales is proud to be partnering with Spirit to mark a new era of Guest experience in connectivity and bring solutions that make tomorrow possible today,” said Dominique Giannoni, CEO of Thales InFlyt Experience.
ʻO Spirit Wi-Fi kekahi o nā hoʻomaikaʻi e piʻi mai ana no ka mokulele, ma ke ʻano o kāna hoʻohiki e hoʻomau i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana a me ka hoʻokomo ʻana i ka malihini.
