Growing Demand for In-Flight Connectivity: The growth in demand for in-flight connectivity has increased tremendously over the years. Airline passengers have the need to stay connected to the internet whilst in the air. This trend is mainly increasing as a result of heavy usage of phones, tablets and the desire to be productive or entertained during flights. Airlines are now meeting this demand by investing in more sophisticated satellite-based connectivity systems. These systems allow people onboard to surf the net, check emails, watch videos and use social networks.

Besides, North America comprises an almost staggering number of commercial airlines, business aviation operators, and manufacturers. This makes the region one of the largest and most highly developed aviation industries globally, increasing the growth of the connected aircraft market.
