It is available for free for up to 60 passengers on selected flights across its network from now until October.
Each passenger will get a 1MB quota and a package will offer chatting through apps such as LINE, WhatsApp and WeChat.
The trial will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis the airline said, and passengers will be informed via an in-flight announcement.
Selected passengers log on with a token code auto generated by clicking the ‘get access’ link on the connectivity portal.
