NBA And Viasat To Make NBA League Pass Available To Millions Of Airline Passengers While In Flight
Flying has just become a lot more convenient for NBA fans.
The NBA and Viasat Inc., a global communications company and leading in-flight connectivity provider to many of the world’s most recognizable airlines, announced a multi-year partnership to make NBA League Pass available to millions of airline passengers while in flight.
The partnership will provide a streaming experience in the sky, enabling airline passengers to access live and on-demand NBA games and content on their personal electronic devices at no extra cost when they register for NBA League Pass in-flight. JetBlue will be one of the first airlines to offer NBA League Pass on Viasat-equipped aircraft, with additional airlines expected to be announced.
Available during the 2021 NBA Playoffs, which will tip off Saturday, May 22, Viasat will enable access to the premium version of NBA League Pass – featuring every NBA game live and on-demand – to passengers onboard aircraft with Viasat In-flight connectivity. NBA League Pass will be available on any route, except for flights within the U.S., Canada and China; international flights to and from these three countries will also have access to the service.
