Lufthansa begins trialing broadband on short- and medium-haul flights

Lufthansa Group plans to become the Òmost digital aviation groupÓ in 2017, CE Carsten Spohr said. The company has begun the next phase of testing Lufthansa FlyNet internet access, initially on five Airbus A320s each at Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines. The trial will include free service and will offer internet access on inner-European routes. Passengers who fly on these aircraft will be offered free internet use during this test phase. Lufthansa passengers can gain Wi-Fi access to the internet using their own mobile devices. In the future, three service packages will be available. The company is Òinvesting E300m in digitalisation for our customers until 2020.Ó <br/>
