Qantas Internet delay not due to porn
Qantas said a delay in rolling out full internet access on its new planes had nothing to do with controversy in the United States about air passengers surfing porn websites, according to an AAP report.
The report goes on to say that the world’s biggest airline, American Airlines, last month started offering passengers, for a fee, full in-flight broadband internet access on its Boeing 767-200 planes.
The US Association of Professional Flight Attendants has subsequently called on the airline to install filter software that blocks inappropriate sites, following complaints from flight attendants and passengers.
Qantas next month launches services on its new A380 planes, and will offer limited internet access, such as cached content, web-based email and chat services.
Plans to offer full internet access had been delayed by “logistical and regulatory issues” encountered by connectivity provider, OnAir, Qantas said, without elaborating.
The full internet service was now scheduled to be available later next year, the airline said.
Qantas’ first A380 plane will begin service on October 20.
