Emirates free inflight Wi-Fi extends to Economy
A recent inflight Wi-Fi upgrade means every Emirates passenger can potentially enjoy free Wi-Fi irrespective of ticket type.
It is available once they sign up to Emirates Skywards.
It results in an additional 30,000 Economy Class passengers getting access to complimentary Wi-Fi every week.
The airline says it has invested more than US$300 million in onboard connectivity.
All Emirates Skywards members in every class can now enjoy some form of free connectivity.
Skywards members enjoy free app messaging.
Additionally, First Class passengers will have unlimited free internet if they are Skywards members.
Silver, Gold and Platinum Skywards members get free Wi-Fi in Business Class.
Platinum Skywards members have complimentary internet access in all classes.
Emirates sees an average of 450,000 inflight Wi-Fi users per month.
Patrick Brannelly, SVP Retail, IFE said: ” In March we delivered about 55% more data per customer session compared to early 2022 despite the number of sessions increasing by 68%.”
Emirates will also offer new high-speed broadband by Inmarsat’s GX Aviation, on new Airbus A350 aircraft from 2024.
