Moment, a specialist in digital onboard solutions for the aviation industry, has been selected by Air Sierra Leone, the country’s new national carrier, to implement a wireless in-flight entertainment (W-IFE) solution across its fleet. The agreement marks Moment’s second contract on the African continent this semester, following a recent deal with a regional airline.

Established in late 2024 and based at Freetown International Airport, Air Sierra Leone launched commercial services in January 2025. Its first route connected Freetown with Lagos, operated by a leased Embraer ERJ 145. Since then, the airline has expanded both its network and its fleet, introducing Boeing 737 MAX aircraft to support its ambition of becoming a dynamic regional and international operator. Air Sierra Leone aims to combine modern travel choices with competitive fares and dependable service, catering to both local and international markets.

As part of the collaboration, Moment is equipping the airline’s Boeing 737 MAX aircraft with its Flymingo Box, a compact wireless IFE server. The system enables passengers to stream films, television programmes, podcasts and other content directly to their own devices, via a platform designed to reflect Air Sierra Leone’s brand identity.

Beyond providing the technology, Moment also acts as Content Service Provider, sourcing and integrating a tailored entertainment package. The line-up will feature 20 films, 20 television shows, ten documentaries, ten podcasts, ten animated programmes and ten games. To meet the needs of Air Sierra Leone’s international audience, all content will be available in English, French and Spanish.

The introduction of Moment’s W-IFE solution underlines Air Sierra Leone’s commitment to delivering a modern and competitive passenger experience, while strengthening the airline’s position as a new force in West African aviation.
