The Corporate Jet Investor Town Hall

Results from CJI and Viasat’s latest survey have indicated that expectations around business aviation connectivity have evolved considerably. Traditional speed-based plans are now outdated, especially those that advertise a top-speed without details around when, where and how frequently it will be achieved. Instead, savvy business aviation customers have broadened their focus to the overall experience. So, are the days of speed test decision-making finally over?
