In-flight Wireless Slowly Taking Off
Connexion made its debut in May on Lufthansa, which calls its service FlyNet, and is the first full-feature, in-flight internet service to reach travellers. The only routes served as of July were Munich-Los Angeles and Munich-Tokyo, but the company plans to equip all its long-range aircraft with the technology, and add New York routes by the end of the year. According to Connexion spokesman Terrance Scott, Japan Airlines will be the next to add the service, followed by Scandinavian Airlines and All Nippon Airways.
