Virgin Atlantic completes Wi-Fi roll out
Virgin Atlantic has completed its Wi-Fi roll-out, which the airline said makes it the first European airline to be fully connected. Virgin Atlantic has equipped 39 aircraft under the roll out, fitting out its Boeing 787s with equipment from Panasonic and its Airbus A330s, 747s and A340-600s with Gogo technology. The service is now available on up to 39 daily transatlantic flights, operated by Virgin Atlantic and its US JV partner Delta Air Lines. Virgin said this positions it a year ahead of its European long-haul rivals. “Results so far have shown that 42% of customers opt for the Wi-Fi max package, which lasts the entire flight, and the most popular routes for Wi-Fi use are London Heathrow to New York JFK, San Francisco and Atlanta,” Virgin said. <br/>
