Air France-KLM selects Gogo for long-haul Wi-Fi

Air France-KLM has signed an agreement with connectivity provider Gogo, covering Wi-Fi installation across 124 long-haul aircraft. Announcing the deal Sept 29, Air France-KLM said Gogo will equip 83 Air France aircraft (15 Airbus A330s and 68 Boeing 777s) and 41 from KLM’s long-haul fleet (12 A330s and 29 777s). The installations, which come alongside Air France-KLM’s Wi-Fi-equipped 787s, will start at the end of 2017. Air France-KLM said the aircraft will be equipped with Wi-Fi as well as a free portal that will be accessible via passenger devices, giving access to flight information, travel details and inflight entertainment. KLM is already operating 8 Wi-Fi-equipped 787s and Air France will receive its first 787 Jan 9 next year. <br/>
