Boeing and Virgin Atlantic have agreed to implement connectivity modifications across Virgin Atlantic's fleet of Boeing 787 Dreamliners. The upgrades will include the installation of a new antenna fairing, the Boeing Aerodynamic Shroud, designed to accommodate Electronically Steered Phased Array (ESA) antennas. This will support Low Earth Orbit $(LEO)$ and multi-orbit connectivity, enabling high-speed, streaming-quality Wi-Fi for passengers. The agreement was announced at MRO Europe on October 15.
