United Continental Holdings (UCH) selected Panasonic Avionics to provide Ku-band satellite Wi-Fi connectivity on more than 300 United Airlines (UA) and Continental (CO) aircraft, beginning in mid-2012, enabling onboard connectivity for both domestic and international flights.

The service, which will be installed on Airbus A319, A320 and Boeing 747, 757, 767, 777 and 787 aircraft, is slated to be implemented in the entire UCH mainline fleet by 2015.
