Broadband high in the sky
Date published: 26 November 2009
From the middle of 2010, Lufthansa customers from Manchester Airport will be able to enjoy the full freedom to communicate via the internet above the clouds as the airline relaunches FlyNet, its on-board broadband service.
Additionally, the new service will permit in-flight data transfer over standard GSM/GPRS mobile networks. Through FlyNet, Lufthansa passengers will have WLAN Internet access and be able to send SMS messages by mobile phone and transfer data via smartphones such as PDA, iPhone or BlackBerry devices.
With its new business partner Panasonic, Lufthansa aims to equip a major part of its long-range fleet with FlyNet within the first year of operation.
