The Russian Aeroflot has equipped 34 aircrafts with high-speed wireless Internet access in 2021. The Airbus A350 and A320 aircrafts have been equipped with satellite dishes that transmit the signal.

The minimum tariff is $5 and includes only Whatsapp, iMessage, WeChat, Viber messengers to send and receive text messages. The maximum tariff includes a traffic of 200 Mb and costs $60.
