Seamless Air Alliance

The Seamless Air Alliance (SAA) is an industry-wide collaboration focused on defining interoperability standards and programs to improve inflight connectivity. Founded by companies like Airbus, Delta, OneWeb, and others, it aims to enable airlines to provide passengers with seamless, high-speed internet access, even over polar routes, by integrating satellite and terrestrial networks. The SAA works with partners like the European Space Agency (ESA) and mobile network operators to develop standards for 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) and create a scalable roaming framework for airlines. Key activities include defining open standards, streamlining system integration, and increasing accessibility for passengers to enhance the inflight internet experience.
