[Satellite TODAY 09-02-10] In-flight communications provider OnAir has launched full Mobile OnAir and Internet OnAir inflight passenger communications services on EgpytAir’s fleet of twin-aisle Airbus 330-300 aircraft operating out of London, OnAir announced Sept. 1.
    Powered by Inmarsat’s SwiftBroadband service delivered from its fourth-generation satellite constellation, the OnAir solution aims to provide passengers with both GSM/GPRS and Wi-Fi Internet access, connecting laptops, smartphones and other devices for in-flight service.
    “Within two to three years, we’re convinced that all airlines will demand this level of onboard mobile communications,” OnAir COO Ian Dawkins said in a statement.
OnAir said that EgyptAir has scheduled additional aircraft to be equipped in coming months.
