Alaska Airlines To Test Wi-Fi For Passengers
Alaska Airlines announced it will be the first U.S. carrier to test a satellite-based in-flight wireless Internet service next year and may equip its entire fleet.
There have been several moves across the industry to offer passengers Internet access while they're traveling.
Seattle-based Alaska plans to install Westlake Village, Calif.-based Row 44 Inc.'s broadband service on one Boeing 737 jet next spring, reports Ledger-Enquirer.
Row 44's system is designed to work over water and across international borders. Alaska Airlines said the service is intended to work on all its routes, which include flights within the lower 48 states and to Alaska, Hawaii, Canada and Mexico. [Get full story ¦ Ledger-Enquirer.com]
