The 2026 NBAA Luncheon, co-hosted by Honeywell Aerospace and Viasat, will explore one of the most important questions facing business aviation today: do we really understand what principals expect from in-flight connectivity?

Drawing on one of business aviation's most comprehensive connectivity surveys, and one of the first to compare perspectives from both industry professionals and aircraft principals, this session reveals where assumptions and reality diverge, and what that means for the future of connectivity in the air.

Attendees will learn:

• What principals actually expect from in-flight connectivity, based on new survey data comparing industry assumptions against passenger reality
• Why reliability, consistency, and trust are outpacing speed as the top priorities shaping passenger behavior and demand
• How AI-enabled applications are reshaping what connectivity needs to deliver onboard
• Why resiliency, not bandwidth, will define the next competitive battleground in aircraft connectivity
• How Honeywell and Viasat's 25-plus year partnership is converging technology, global networks, and service to set a new standard for trusted, future-ready connectivity
  

Panelists include:

• Claudio D'Amico - VP Strategic Market Engagement, Business Aviation |
  Viasat 
  

• Adam Sheppard - General Manager, Inflight Connectivity |
  Honeywell Aerospace
