内罗毕——肯尼亚航空公司（Kenya Airways，简称KQ）计划从2027年第二季度开始在其长途机队上安装机上Wi-Fi，以此提升乘客体验。\n\n代理常务董事兼首席执行官George Kamal表示，此项部署将首先从运营飞往伦敦、巴黎、纽约、中国和阿姆斯特丹等长途航线的飞机开始，随后逐步扩展至短途航线。\n\nKamal说：“从2027年第二季度开始，每架飞机进入机库时，我们将开始逐一安装。我们将首先从长途机型开始，即飞往伦敦、巴黎、JFK（纽约）、中国和阿姆斯特丹的航线。”\n\n他表示，该安装计划随后将扩展至运营短途航线的飞机。\n\nKQ目前已经有一架波音777飞机配备了Wi-Fi，Kamal表示，这将有助于降低初期部署的成本。\n\n他说：“这个过程可能需要时间，但至少我们已经开始了。我们已经有一架配备了该系统的飞机——这架波音777已配备完毕，我们已经准备就绪，因此波音777的改装成本会更低。”\n\nKamal指出，在整个机队中安装Wi-Fi面临的主要挑战是高昂的前期成本。

Nairobi — Kenya Airways (KQ) plans to begin installing onboard Wi-Fi on its long-haul aircraft from the second quarter of 2027 as the national carrier seeks to improve passenger experience.

Acting Managing Director and CEO George Kamal said the rollout will begin with aircraft operating long-haul routes to London, Paris, New York, China and Amsterdam before being extended to shorter routes.

"From Q2 2027, one aircraft--every aircraft comes into the hangar we start installing one by one. We'll start with the long range first which is London, Paris, JFK, China, and Amsterdam," Kamal said.

He said the installation would later be extended to aircraft operating shorter routes.

KQ already has one Boeing 777 aircraft equipped with Wi-Fi, which Kamal said would help reduce the cost of the initial rollout.

"This process can take time but at least we will be starting. We have one aircraft which is equipped--the Triple 7 is equipped, we are ready, so the cost of the Triple 7 is lower," he said.

Kamal said the main challenge to installing Wi-Fi across the fleet is the high upfront cost.
