Air India announced it is the first Indian airline to offer inflight internet access on domestic flights.
Since January 1, the Indian flag carrier stated it has rolled out its Wi-Fi internet connectivity services onboard its widebody Airbus A350, Boeing 787-9, and select Airbus A321neo aircraft operating on domestic and international flights.
“Connectivity is now an integral part of modern travel. For some, it is about the convenience and comfort of real-time sharing, while for others, it is about greater productivity and efficiency. Whatever be one’s purpose, we are confident that our guests will appreciate having the option of connecting to the web and enjoy the new Air India experience on board these aircraft,” said Rajesh Dogra, Chief Customer Experience Officer, Air India.
According to Air India, Wi-Fi access is currently complementary for an introductory period. The airline plans to roll out the service on other aircraft in its fleet over time.
The deployment of the inflight Wi-Fi on domestic routes follows an ongoing pilot program on international flights using Airbus A350, select A321neo, and Boeing 787-9 aircraft to/from destinations including New York, London, Paris, and Singapore.
