Delta Airlines launches inflight internet service
Delta Airlines has announced that the Gogo inflight internet service has been made available onboard six of its domestic planes, which are the first of 300 aircraft that will eventually provide the service.
The inflight technology will initially be launched on planes operating shuttle routes from La Guardia Airport in New York to Boston Logan Airport and Ronald Reagan Airport in Washington.
Users of smartphones, personal digital assistants and other such devices will be able to access the internet via the Gogo system, meaning they will be able to use mobile internet applications such as Just the Flight Mobile.
Tim Mapes, Delta's senior vice president of marketing, said: "In-flight internet access is one of the most popular requests we receive from our customers.
"Delta's launch of Gogo onboard these first Delta aircraft demonstrates our continued commitment to providing our customers with the options they want and value when they travel with us."
Gogo already has contracts with American Airlines and Virgin America for the provision of inflight internet access.
It will soon be working with Air Canada, an airline that operates flights to UK hubs including Heathrow Airport and Manchester Airport.
British airline bmi has announced that it is to trial an inflight communications system providing internet access for laptop users.
