In October of this year, the first Lufthansa short- and medium-haul aircraft will take off with broadband internet on board.
Lufthansa’s entire A320 family fleet is expected to have the innovative technology installed by mid-2018. Other airlines in the Lufthansa Group will follow at a later date.
Passengers will be able to access the internet using their own mobile devices via Wi-Fi. In addition to basic surfing and e-mail, other more sophisticated applications will be possible, including video streaming. At a later date, passengers will be able to use their mobile phones for SMS and data transfer via their own mobile accounts.
FlyNet has been available on all 107 long-haul aircraft in the Lufthansa fleet since June 2015.
