Why Messaging Matters More Than Ever
Staying connected is no longer a luxury – it’s an expectation. Whether on the ground or in the air, passengers demand seamless communication, and airlines are taking note.
This shift is happening everywhere, with the messaging industry at its forefront. In our previous article on Satellite Messaging and its role in scaling the messaging industry, we explored how messaging is reaching new heights – literally. Now, airlines are proving once again how crucial connectivity is by enhancing in-flight messaging capabilities.
Lufthansa’s latest move to offer free messaging on short and medium-haul flights was a step in the right direction. Now, they have expanded this service even further, allowing passengers to access major chat applications like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Telegram on international flights. This means travellers can send and receive unlimited pictures and messages while soaring above the clouds.
What This Means for the Messaging Industry
While airlines are investing in connectivity to enhance the passenger experience, businesses must also recognize the importance of staying connected across multiple channels. With omnichannel business messaging, brands can ensure consistent engagement with their customers – whether they are on the ground or in the air.
This shift also presents a massive opportunity for MNOs, MVNOs, and Telecom Operators. If airlines understand the need to keep passengers connected, the same principle applies to telcos ensuring uninterrupted communication for businesses and consumers alike. Instead of seeing travel as a barrier to messaging, operators and enterprises should embrace omnichannel solutions to maintain seamless interaction regardless of location.
The Business Case for Omnichannel Messaging
For brands and telecom operators, the rise of in-flight messaging services proves one crucial point: people expect to be connected anytime, anywhere. With omnichannel Business Messaging, companies can:
- Ensure customers receive critical updates in real-time, no matter where they are.
- Offer personalized and interactive communication across multiple platforms.
- Strengthen customer relationships by removing communication barriers during travel.
- Stay competitive by adopting the latest messaging innovations.
The fact that airlines are investing in seamless in-flight communication is yet another strong signal that connectivity is key in today’s world. As in-flight messaging becomes more widespread, businesses and telecom operators must align with this shift to remain relevant and competitive. Customers shouldn’t have to choose between staying connected and travelling – and neither should brands or telcos.
At HORISEN, we understand this principle well. No wonder we use the analogy with airlines. Just as airlines transport passengers from A to B, messaging companies transport messages from A to B. And just as aircraft manufacturers provide airlines with planes, we provide messaging companies with cutting-edge messaging technology.
We build the planes so others can fly.
Just as airlines ensure passengers reach their destinations, messaging companies ensure messages get delivered – and HORISEN provides the secure, scalable, and future-ready technology to make it happen.
