Lufthansa to offer internet access on short and medium haul flights
Lufthansa is to offer broadband on board short and medium-haul flights from summer 2016.
The airline said it was the first airline in Europe able to offer its guests an internet surfing experience of the same quality and speed that they are used to at home.
Carsten Spohr, chairman of the Executive Board of Deutsche Lufthansa AG, said: "Lufthansa has always been a pioneer of Internet services on board its aircraft.
"Having equipped all planes in the Lufthansa intercontinental fleet with our successful FlyNet® system, we are now continuing our success story by providing Internet on board our short and medium-haul flights."
The service will allow passengers internet access on their own mobile devices via a wireless network, for e-mail services, superior applications and even streaming.
Passengers will also be able to use their mobile phones to send and receive text messages but telephone calls on board will not be allowed due to customer preference.
