PARIS (FRANCE) – Moment, a French company specialising in digital services for the air transport industry, announce its selection by Hans Airways, the UK’s newest start up carrier, to supply its portable IFE system for onboard entertainment. Moment’s Flymingo box will be fitted aboard its first Airbus A330-200 ahead of the company’s revenue operations*.
Hans Airways is a privately-owned UK start-up, originally founded in October 2019. It is a hybrid, long-haul model which intends to operate from the UK’s Birmingham Airport to India, initially serving the Indian diaspora’s needs in Europe – then moving on to North America. Hans Airways is a community airline, focused on a customer-centric and value for money ethos.
Through the portable W-IFE solution Flymingo Box, Hans Airways’ passengers will be able to connect with a variety of premium content, including films, TV shows, infotainment or games streamed directly from passengers’ own devices. Flymingo presents a compact and powerful server. As an autonomous solution, Flymingo Box adapts to non-connected environments and does not require any additional connectivity, operating with its own Wi-Fi network.
Hans Airways is progressing with its plans to commence scheduled services later this year. Its aircraft feature a cabin layout of 275 economy and 24 premium economy seats.

“We are excited to contribute to the creation of the passenger experience aboard Hans Airways’ aircraft,” said Dieudonné Kamaté, Business Development Director at Moment. “Flymingo Box is a cost-effective solution which adapts perfectly to all airlines, regardless of fleet size, and which easily brings digital services on board.

*Hans Airways’ first A330 arrived in the UK in July 2022 and successfully operated a proving flight at the end of August – the precursor to securing its UK Air Operator’s Certificate from the Civil Aviation Authority.
