Garuda Indonesia has partnered with MOMENT to push forward the airline’s expansion of its Wireless In-Flight Entertainment (W-IFE) capabilities.
Under a three-year agreement, Moment has deployed 64 Flymingo Box units to enhance the digital onboard experience for Indonesia’s national carrier. These units represent Moment’s proprietary wireless IFE hardware, specifically designed to modernise the in-flight journey.
The deployment focuses on 15 selected aircraft within Garuda Indonesia’s fleet, specifically the Boeing 737-800 NG, Boeing 737-8, and Airbus A330-900Neo.
The Flymingo Box is a compact and autonomous solution that enables a seamless Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) experience, allowing passengers to stream a vast library of entertainment directly to their personal smartphones, tablets, or laptops.

Each Flymingo Box is designed with a battery life of 12 to 14 hours and can accommodate up to 100 devices concurrently during a flight. To ensure optimal performance and high-quality streaming for all passengers, two devices are typically deployed per aircraft, providing a robust and reliable connection throughout the cabin without the need for complex modifications.
Moment has partnered with Anuvu to deliver a diverse and premium entertainment catalogue. This selection features the latest Hollywood new releases and blockbusters, a dedicated collection of Indonesian films, as well as high-quality music albums and podcasts. To ensure the experience remains fresh and engaging for frequent flyers, the entire content library is refreshed every two months.
