Air NZ starts Wi-Fi trial on some international flights
Air NZ has started trialling its new inflight Wi-Fi service on a long-haul Boeing 777-300 aircraft. The airline is joining a growing list of carriers offering connectivity in the air. It is still working out what it will charge for the service once it is rolled across the fleet. The 777-300 aircraft mainly fly transtasman, US, London and some Pacific Island routes. Following the trial Air NZ will begin installing equipment in all of its 7 Boeing777-300s. Air NZ will use Inmarsat's global GX satellite constellation and has partnered with Panasonic Avionics as the on-board technology supplier. Air NZ chief digital officer Avi Golan said it was trialling Wi-Fi initially in order to gather customer feedback and ensure it met their needs before it was rolled out across the international jet fleet. <br/>
