Trustive, the leading provider of premium WiFi hotspots in Europe, today announced that it has signed a partnership with Azur Helicoptere, the leading French helicopter airline, on the Riviera. The partnership will allow Azur Helicoptere to provide its customers with WiFi access at premium locations across the French Riviera.

Visitors to the upcoming Cannes Film Festival and Monaco Formula One Grand Prix will be the first to be able to take advantage of Azur Helicoptere’s ‘Riviera WiFi Pass’, allowing them to easily roam across more than 130 Trustive hotspots from Monaco to St Tropez. The hotspots are located at premium locations including airports, the Film Festival centre, cafes, restaurants and hotels in the region.

Trustive currently covers more than 30,000 WiFi hotspots worldwide across 70 different networks, including most European airports and many other prime locations. Trustive offers both monthly subscription and pre-paid services and is meeting user demand to provide seamless access to a global network of hotspots.

Christian VanGhelder, managing director of Trustive, said: “With the upcoming Cannes Film Festival and Monaco Grand Prix, there is going to be a huge influx of visitors requiring mobile internet access. Our ‘Riviera WiFi Pass’ will alleviate the hassle of getting online and provide customers with seamless access to a number of premium hotspots during their stay.”

Michel de Rohozinski, president of Azur Helicoptere, said: “Offering WiFi access enables us to provide an added value service to our customers. Many of our customers require internet access during their visits, so by partnering with Trustive we can now offer them both a great flying and WiFi experience.”
