Asia-Pacific Inflight Connectivity Benchmark 2025: Adoption, Pricing and IFC Strategies Across 30 Airlines

With 8 in 10 airlines connected, Asia-Pacific leads globally in IFC deployment. But high adoption masks significant disparity: 95% of legacy carriers are equipped versus only 33% of budget airlines, creating uneven connectivity expectations across the region.
