Thai Airways becomes 1st global airline to line-fit Neo Space Group’s IFC Solution on their Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet

November 12, 2025

Neo Space Group (NSG) and Thai Airways (THAI) have announced that NSG Skywaves®—the Group’s advanced, in-flight connectivity (IFC) solution, will be line-fit on all of THAI’s new fleet of Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.

Through this agreement, Thai Airways will equip all 34 of its Boeing 787 aircraft with NSG’s multi-orbit IFC solution, enabling broadband speeds of up to 200 Mbps to support high-speed passenger Wi-Fi and enhance operational efficiency.

By selecting a factory line-fit installation, Thai Airways ensures that every new Dreamliner will be delivered with full connectivity capability from day one – avoiding the downtime, complexity, and cost of aftermarket retrofit installations.

NSG Skywaves® leverages SES’s Open Orbits™ network, which combines MEO’s low-latency, high-speed performance with GEO’s stability and global coverage to deliver reliable broadband connectivity throughout the flight.

This advanced IFC system integrates the ThinKom Ka2517 antenna – a proven multi-orbit solution deployed on more than 1,700 aircraft worldwide – creating a seamless, resilient, and high-speed in-flight experience.

NSG now has more than 350 aircraft either activated with the NSG Skywaves® solution or in backlog. As a PIF company, NSG supports Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 by advancing digital transformation across aviation, delivering world-class connectivity solutions, and strengthening the Kingdom’s presence in the global space economy.
