Air India announced rolling out Wi-Fi internet connectivity services on board domestic and international flights operated by Airbus A350, Boeing 787-9 and select Airbus A321neo aircraft.
This makes Air India the first Indian carrier to offer in-flight Wi-Fi internet connectivity on flights.
“Connectivity is now an integral part of modern travel. For some, it is about the convenience and comfort of real-time sharing, while for others, it is about greater productivity and efficiency,” said Rajesh Dogra, Chief Customer Experience Officer, Air India.
“Whatever be one’s purpose, we are confident that our guests will appreciate having the option of connecting to the web and enjoy the new Air India experience on board these aircraft,” he said.
Accessible on Wi-Fi-enabled devices such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones with iOS or Android operating systems, the airline in-flight Wi-Fi will also allow guests to connect multiple devices simultaneously when above 10,000 feet.
The in-flight Wi-Fi connections, however, will depend on factors such as satellite connectivity, overall bandwidth usage, routes, and government restrictions, the airline said.
The airline’s deployment of Wi-Fi on domestic flights follows an ongoing pilot programme on international services operated by the Airbus A350, select Airbus A321 neo and Boeing B787-9 aircraft serving international destinations including New York, London, Paris and Singapore.
