Saudi Arabia's Alpha Star Aviation Services has signed a long-term partnership contract with satellite communications service provider, Satcom1 in order to bring the latest, fastest, and most advanced satcom technologies to the Alpha Star fleet.

The two companies said they have enjoyed a successful relationship since 2009, providing high-speed internet, voice, software and consultancy services to wide-body Alpha Star’s VVIP aircraft. “Alpha Star main purpose is to meet and exceed its clients’ _expectations and needs, we look forward to update the aircrafts solutions especially with latest technologies so that our clients enjoy luxurious experience with Alpha Star art communication standards,” said Alpha Star’s CEO, Salem Al Muzaini. 
Satcom1 was founded from extensive first-hand experience in aeronautical satellite communications and aeronautical field support. Today, Satcom1 continues to innovate through a strong R&D department located in Le Bourget Paris business airport, France. 

“Many satcom providers today broaden themselves so much that they forget to inspire the aeronautical segment with innovation or with bringing new technologies or solutions to market. Satcom1 concentrates on providing unique aero solutions for both cabin and the cockpit. We believe our customers and partners benefit from this business focus” – said Karina Larsen, Co-founder and VP Partnerships. 
Satcom1’s R&D department is constantly working on solutions that will enhance the user experience on board aircraft, especially when it comes to bandwidth – so that the passengers will be able to enjoy video streaming, live TV, high-speed internet, video conferences and “office-in-the-sky” features while flying. 
According to the contract that has been signed between both parties, Alpha Star fleet will benefit from the latest technology developments moving forward as well as will be supported technically when it comes to airborne network design and technical engineering support. 
“Satcom1 is extremely honored to partner with Alpha Star. Our services are tailor made and strongly focused on VVIP segment. Customers are our absolute priority and their needs and we will make sure that we continue our efforts when it comes to innovation and a highly-skilled and proactive customer service in order to bring the best connectivity experience to all Alpha Star’s aircraft.” said Satcom1’s CEO, Henrik Zinck.
