U.S. air carrier US Airways has become the latest carrier to sign u with AirCell, announcing that it plans to begin offering GoGo Inflight Internet service on its fleet of A321 aircraft on selected domestic air routes beginning in early 2010. Like other carriers offering inflight Internet access from Gogo, users will be able to connect Wi-Fi enabled devices in the cabin to an in-plan Wi-Fi network that in turn maintains Internet access by communicating with ground-based cellular services.
Last month, both Delta and American Airlines announced they would be offering in-flight Wi-Fi services on domestic flights via AirCell’s GoGo mobile broadband service. This month, in-flight Wi-Fi hops to the Great White North, with Air Canada announcing a deal to offer GoGo in-flight Wi-Fi on Airbus A319 planes that fly cross-border routes to the United States. The service should come online in spring 2009.
“Adding Air Canada as Aircell’s newest airline partner and first international customer will mark yet another milestone for our company,” said Aircell CEO and president Jack Blumenstein, in a statement. “As we continue to grow our U.S. network and explore our international expansion plans, Air Canada will have the distinction of being the first.”
