United is Fifth Carrier to Offer In-Flight Wi-Fi
United Airlines is the fifth major carrier that has announced plans to add in-flight Internet service from Aircell on selected flights, beginning with service between New York’s John F. Kennedy airport and Los Angeles International, as well as from JFK to San Francisco International. Aircell’s GoGo service will be available for passengers in all classes for a flat fee of $12.95 per flight, and will initially be deployed on 13 Boeing 757 planes.
United is the fifth carrier alongside American, Virgin, Delta (which acquired Northwest), and Air Canada to offer this service. "We are investing in products and services that are most important to our customers, and having Wi-Fi access on board is something that they have told us is key to making their flights more productive and enjoyable," said United senior VP and chief customer officer Dennis Cary, in a statement. United has plans to launch the service in the second half of 2009.
