Send emails from a height of 32,808 feet, shop online while soaring over the Alps, stream videos above the clouds – and all of that with broadband quality.
Soon, passengers of Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines will be able to go online on shorter journeys too – as they have already been able to do for quite some time on long haul flights.
Last summer, Lufthansa received the so-called Supplemental Type Certificate for the Airbus fleet A320 from the European Aviation Safety Agency, and successfully concluded all the necessary preparation work.
Now, the next stage of testing on Lufthansa and Austrian routes will begin, initially involving five aircraft in each case.
Passengers who fly on these aircraft will be offered free Internet use during this test phase.
