Air Sierra Leone Selects Moment’s Flymingo Box to launch W-IFE onboard
Share
Air Sierra Leone has partnered with Moment to introduce wireless in-flight entertainment (W-IFE) across its fleet for the first time since its founding in late 2024. Using Moment’s Flymingo Box, Air Sierra Leone aims to redefine onboard engagement for all its passengers in West Africa’s fast-growing aviation market.
W-IFE: Catering to a Growing Number of Travelers
Air Sierra Leone was founded in 2024 and began commercial operations in January 2025. Within months, the airline expanded its network and fleet, and now operates flights between Freetown International Airport (FNA) and London Gatwick (LGW) on a Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.
The introduction of a W-IFE platform on the carrier’s Boeing 737 MAX aircraft reflects the airline’s commitment to innovation and passenger comfort. As travelers increasingly expect connectivity and entertainment during a flight, Air Sierra Leone recognized the importance of providing a seamless entertainment experience. Partnering with Moment enables the airline to deliver a solution that is both cost-efficient and enhances passenger satisfaction.
Moment’s Flymingo Box serves as the technological backbone of Air Sierra Leone’s new W-IFE system. The system is compact, lightweight, and easy to install. It allows passengers to stream content directly on their personal devices without the need for seatback screens. This approach simplifies operations while delivering the high-quality entertainment experience travelers expect on international flights.
The entertainment platform is fully customized to reflect Air Sierra Leone’s brand identity. In addition to the Flymingo Box, Moment serves as the airline’s content service provider. As such, Moment’s in-house team sources and manages a diverse entertainment catalog that includes 20 films, 20 TV shows, 10 documentaries, 10 podcasts, 10 animated programs, and 10 games. To cater to Air Sierra Leone’s international audience, all of the content is available in English, French, and Spanish.
“Moment’s flexible solution […] allows us to provide a modern, multi-lingual entertainment experience that reflects our brand’s commitment to passenger comfort and innovation.”

Passengers can also access the airline’s digital magazine, featuring destination highlights, brand stories, and local insights celebrating Sierra Leone’s culture and heritage. A built-in feedback system allows users to rate content and respond to short surveys, giving the airline real-time insight into passenger preferences and satisfaction. This data-driven approach ensures that Air Sierra Leone can continuously refine its entertainment offerings and service delivery.
A Partnership Rooted in Innovation
For Air Sierra Leone, teaming up with Moment shows trust in a company that is growing worldwide. At the APEX Global EXPO 2025, Moment highlighted its expanding list of airline partners and its goal of creating an entirely “connected journey.” Its Flymingo Box plays a key role in that plan, helping airlines offer digital entertainment and services without needing expensive cabin upgrades.
“We’re excited to introduce this level of entertainment and connectivity to Air Sierra Leone’s passengers,” said Air Sierra Leone General Manager Edgard Lacle. “Moment’s flexible solution, combined with its varied content offers, allows us to provide a modern, multi-lingual entertainment experience that reflects our brand’s commitment to passenger comfort and innovation.”
Moment CEO and Co-founder Tanguy Morel said the collaboration builds on the company’s global momentum: “By providing both technology and content services, we’re giving Air Sierra Leone the best solution to deliver an engaging, feature-rich entertainment platform that enhances the onboard experience while staying true to their identity.”
The partnership demonstrates how regional airlines can adopt scalable, cost-effective technology to compete with larger international players. By integrating both technical and content support, Moment enables Air Sierra Leone to offer a premium, personalized digital experience from take-off to landing.
