Volato has equipped its first HondaJet with the SmartSky Lite inflight connectivity system.

According to the company, it is the only streaming-level connectivity solution for small business aircraft.

“Volato is dedicated to exceeding customer expectations on every flight,” said Matt Liotta, CEO of Volato.

He added, “The addition of SmartSky’s next-generation inflight connectivity is a direct response to customer feedback and underscores our commitment to delivering a superior in-flight experience.”

Liotta noted, “Early feedback indicates our passengers will be thrilled with the seamless connection and blazing-fast speeds.”

All future deliveries of the VLJs will feature the SmartSky system.

The timing to add the system across its current fleet has not been disclosed.

Volato currently operates 26 HondaJets.

The deal was announced last September.
