OneWeb Announces Head Of Commercial Aviation

Will Be Responsible For Delivering In-Flight Connectivity Solutions

OneWeb, the global communications company whose mission is to connect everyone, everywhere, is pleased to announce that Ben Griffin has been appointed to the role of vice president for Commercial Aviation, leading its newly formed Commercial Aviation team.

In his new role, based at OneWeb's White City, London HQ, Griffin (pictured) is responsible for delivering in-flight connectivity solutions, harnessing the power of Low Earth Orbit satellites with unprecedented speed and low latency, to the airline fraternity.  

Griffin brings 20 years' aviation experience to OneWeb, the last 15 of which were spent in the aircraft connectivity sector, most recently with Inmarsat for eight years. He will bring deep experience of the connected aircraft world to OneWeb.

"I am delighted to have joined a company with so much potential. The OneWeb offering is by a long way, simply the best technology, best suited to the aviation market," Griffin said. "It stands to significantly change the landscape of passenger connectivity with its ability to deliver consistently strong internet coverage across the world in a way that is often promised, but rarely delivered.

"Right now airlines are not getting value for what they are paying for, nor a consistently acceptable level of service globally.  We we will change that when our service goes live and we invite passengers to not only bring their own device, but to use their own device, which will bring huge benefits to both passengers and airlines.”

OneWeb will power applications in aviation using global availability of high capacity speeds and lowest latency, delivering seamless broadband to ultimately maximize the passenger experience.
