SES Launches Multi-Orbit Satellite Connectivity on Mexico's Viva

Luxembourg, June 1, 2026 - SES, a leading space solutions company, and Viva, Mexico's ultra low-cost airline, launched fast and reliable multi-orbit satellite inflight connectivity service on Viva's Airbus aircraft, strengthening SES's position as a leading provider of satellite-powered broadband inflight service in the Americas and around the world.

Viva's passengers will soon benefit from reliable, multi-orbit satellite connectivity that will provide the same fast and dependable internet access they enjoy at home no matter where or when they fly. SES's partnerships with growing airlines like Viva highlight how carriers throughout the Americas are leading the way when it comes to the most advanced connectivity. SES is the engine that powers inflight connectivity, a trusted partner that makes airline operations easier, said Mike DeMarco, SES President of Mobility.

A total of 60 A320s and 40 A321s are set to offer the SES solution in the coming years. With the youngest Latin American fleet of Airbus A320s and A321s, Viva will be the first Mexico-based airline to offer service using SES's new electronically steered array (ESA) antenna, which is less than seven centimeters tall and delivers reliable connectivity to the SES multi-orbit network. Connecting to satellites in different orbits provides consistent and reliable coverage no matter the location.

Connectivity today is not a luxury - it's part of how people live, work, and travel. Our goal is to make flying fit seamlessly into our passengers' digital lives, instead of forcing them to disconnect. With this service, being in the air no longer means being offline, said Pablo G mez Gallardo, Chief Digital Officer at Viva.
