Today at 16:46, Qingdao Airlines flight QW9771 departed from Qingdao Liuting International Airport and landed in Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport at 19:21.
Unlike aircraft using traditional Ku-band satellites, the high-speed interconnect system adapted for this flight is based on China's first and only Ka-band high-throughput satellite - Zhongxing 16.
The aircraft can achieve a high-speed connection of more than 100 megabits in 10,000 meters of air, providing passengers with the same experience of surfing the Internet as on the ground.
During the level flight phase, passengers on board can use their personal mobile phones to connect to the Internet in the air for a stable in-flight entertainment experience.
