Icaro Media Group and Viasat Accelerate Digital Connectivity and New In-Flight Advertising in Brazil
The First In-Flight Campaign is Already Live with Brazilian Beer Giant Itaipava for Carnival
NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, February 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- To offer advertisers an innovative advertising environment aboard aircraft, Icaro Media Group, Inc.—an AI-driven media tech company—has assumed exclusive representation in Brazil for Viasat (NASDAQ: VSAT), a global leader in aviation Wi-Fi connectivity. The technology is already available across the Azul Linhas Aéreas network, offering more stable, long-range connections that allow passengers to access social media, browse the web, and use chat apps while flying.
The first Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) activation case for Icaro and Viasat in Brazil arrives just in time for Carnival. It features a campaign for beer brand Itaipava, starring the artist Ivete Sangalo, the brand's ambassador. The advertisement is being displayed on flights destined for Recife and Salvador, with a significant expected impact on thousands of passengers. As part of the sponsorship, Itaipava is subsidizing the initial 30 minutes of free Wi-Fi on board.
“Representing Viasat in Brazil reinforces Icaro’s positioning as a media tech company prepared to connect brands with highly qualified audiences in premium and innovative environments,” said Flávio Polay, Chief Media Officer at Icaro. “We are talking about a global connectivity platform that expands communication possibilities and delivers relevant experiences for both passengers and advertisers.”
“In-flight digital advertising and media represents a unique opportunity for Icaro’s Digital Out-of-Home advertising growth,” stated Paul Feller, Chairman and CEO of Icaro Media Group, Inc. “It offers dynamic engagement formats during flights, robust measurement potential, and exclusive exposure in a context where the public's attention is focused on the travel experience—adding high value for brand awareness, performance, and experiential campaigns.”
