Airtel Ghana, in partnership with AeroMobile, a global leader in airborne connectivity, has introduced in-flight roaming services for its post-paid customers.
First of its kind in Ghana, the service enables customers to stay connected with family, friends and business partners on board any plane with AeroMobile connections anywhere in the world.
The novelty service allows Airtel post-paid customers to make phone calls, text, send multimedia messages and access their favourite social media platforms during their flights.
Airtel currently has the widest roaming coverage in over 170 countries and has partnerships with more than 400 network operators globally.
This expansive network affords Airtel customers the unique advantage of staying in touch around the world.
Rosy Fynn, Marketing Director of the company said, “This latest partnership with AeroMobile is a game-changer that empowers our post–paid customers to stay in touch with their significant others even when they are in-flight virtually anywhere in the world. This is about connecting people without boundaries, without limitations, and we are delighted to be leading in this space as the only mobile telecom operator in the country providing this service.”
“We are also the only telecom operator that has a bespoke service category designed for high value customers – Airtel Premier – the consummate telecom and lifestyle solutions for high value customers providing unparalleled benefits such as VVIP access to over 700 Airport Lounges the world over. With the addition of in-flight connectivity, Airtel customers are truly connected without limits and borders.”
Airtel continues to rely on its wide network and partnerships to open up the continent and the world to its customers.
The telecom giant is present in 16 countries across Africa and through its One Network product, enables customers to roam seamlessly within the Pan-African community.
Customers on the One Network receive calls for free whilst roaming on the continent.
The AeroMobile service, available above 20,000 feet and during the cruise phase of the flight, enables customers to use voice, SMS, MMS and data services.
Whilst in-flight above 20,000 feet, Airtel customers can access the service by turning on their data roaming service and connecting to AeroMobile.
