Southwest Airlines and Global Eagle Entertainment Announce Launch of Gate-to-Gate Messaging on All WiFi-Installed Aircraft


Southwest is First U.S. Carrier to Offer Messaging at All Phases of Flight and Still the Only Airline Offering Inflight WiFi Below 10,000 Feet


DALLAS and LOS ANGELES, Dec. 11, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adding to the list of services it now offers Customers inflight, Southwest Airlines (NYSE:LUV) and its inflight entertainment and connectivity partner, Global Eagle Entertainment Inc. (Nasdaq:ENT) announced today the launch of a messaging service designed to work in all stages of flight. The new service enables passengers with Apple devices operating on iOS 5 or later the ability to iMessage gate-to-gate for the introductory price of $2 per day. Android-friendly messaging apps will be added early in 2014.

Currently available on 435 aircraft, Southwest is the only U.S. carrier to offer WiFi below 10,000 feet, and with the addition of Global Eagle's texting product, the airline continues to build upon the extensive entertainment and connectivity services that are available to its Customers at all stages of flight. Customers now have the opportunity to choose the inflight connectivity services that meet their needs, from free TV courtesy of DISH, to WiFi gate-to-gate, to messaging.

"It is our pleasure to say that regardless of whether we're parked at the gate or flying at 30,000 feet in the air, we are able to provide a truly robust entertainment and connectivity service for our passengers," said Kevin Krone, Southwest Airlines Chief Marketing Officer. "Our partnership with Global Eagle has afforded us the opportunity to be first with the services we offer, and has truly helped to differentiate Southwest Airlines in ways that are meaningful to our Customers."

With today's announcement, Global Eagle and Southwest continue to reinforce the value of satellite-based connectivity and its ability to deliver a broad range of services to improve the passenger experience inflight.

"When the ban on inflight connectivity below 10,000 feet was lifted, we knew we were in a great position to take some significant strides in terms of passenger experience with Southwest Airlines," said John LaValle, Chief Executive Officer of Global Eagle Entertainment. "Our messaging service breaks new ground, and embraces the changing face of communication, one where texting has already surpassed voice calls as the preferred method of phone use among young adults, and continues to grow."

How It Works:

Once onboard, Customers can switch their phones to "airplane mode" and connect to the Southwest WiFi network.
From the WiFi portal homepage, Apple users with devices operating iOS 5 or later can select "Messaging" from the "Connect" tab and pay $2 for all day texting with other iMessage users on WiFi-enabled planes.
For Customers that prefer to do more, WiFi is still available for $8 all day per device and texting is included in that purchase automatically.
No need to power down! Customers can send messages gate-to-gate like they never left the ground.
Southwest, serving more than 100 million passengers each year, continues to offer the most comprehensive inflight entertainment and connectivity experience at all phases of flight, which now includes:

Inflight WiFi available from gate-to-gate for $8 per device per day
iMessage, available from gate-to-gate for $2 per day, for iPhone users with iOS5 or later
Live Television streamed directly to passengers' own personal electronic devices, free of charge, courtesy of DISH
Video-on-Demand television content and movies
Powered by Global Eagle's satellite-based connectivity platform, the new service—in sync with gate-to-gate Wi-Fi—is also optimized to work in all phases of flight, including on the ground.

Im nächsten Jahr ist bei Global Egl ein Gewinn je Aktie von ungefähr 30 Cent erwartet (in diesem jahr sind es 30 Cent Verlust; trotzdem schoss die Aktie in den Himmel)

[SimonDK]

Habe bisschen recherchiert.. Sieht echt spannend aus.
Um es kurz zusammen zu fassen:
-Global Egl Ent. bietet eine Technologie an, die den Passagieren eines Flugzeugs surfen im Internet ermöglicht (WiFi)
-den Schub für dieses Unternehmen brachten Aufträge der Norwegian Air Shuttle; Global Egl ausgestattete 60 Flugzeuge dieser Airline:
https://www.norwegian.com/uk/about-norwegian/our-company/fle…
- Die Norwegian Air Shuttle wurde im September 2013 mit folgendem Preis ausgezeihnet: "In September 2013, we took home the prestigious Passenger Choice Awards 2013 in the category “Best Inflight Connectivity and Communications”"
- in den letzten 2 Jahren ist der Wert der Norwegian Air Shuttle um fast das 6 Fache gestiegen (d.h die Airline gewinnt neue Kunden)---> Gefahr für die Konkurenz, die sich nun auch weiter entwickeln muss (neue Aufträge für Global Dgl Ent.?)

[SimonDK]

Norwegian Air Shutte rüstet auf!

"Im Januar 2012 gab Norwegian bei Boeing und Airbus insgesamt 222 Flugzeuge in Auftrag, davon 100 Boeing 737 MAX8, 22 Boeing 737-800 und 100 Airbus A320neo. Dieser Auftrag ist der größte Flugzeugauftrag in der europäischen Luftfahrtgeschichte. Nach dem Auslaufen der älteren Maschinen des Typs 737-300 wird Norwegian über eine der modernsten, effizientesten und umweltfreundlichsten kommerziellen Flotten in Europa verfügen.

Norwegian hat zudem acht Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner für Langstreckenflüge bestellt. Die ersten drei 787 Dreamliner werden im Lauf des Jahres 2013 geliefert. Norwegian erwartet die Lieferung von vier weiteren Flugzeugen für 2014 und einer weiteren Maschine für 2015."

Ich bin mir siher, dass die Norwegian Air Shutte weitere Flugzeuge bei Global Egl umbauen lassen wird (zu Zeit sind 60 (von 66) Flugzeuge der Norwegian Air mit der Technologie von Global Egl ausgerüstet)

Bin schon etwas länger bei global eagle mitdabei und ich sage euch die Jungs haben richtig potenzial. Ich sehe das Kursziel für 2014 bei 28 Euro plus. Es ist nur ne Frage der Zeit bis die Big Players der Luftfahrt auf den Zug mit den Wireless WLAN aufspringen. Gerade in der heutigen Zeit wo Service groß geschrieben wird. Und mal ehrlich Hand aufs Herz, das einzigste was fehlt wenn man 10000 Meter über der Erde cruised und Eco fliegt ist Internet. Gruß
