United to Offer WiFi in Flight

Okay, so why am I posting this? Well, you see since my last name is Flight and I have a few WiFi projects in place this blog seems to take quite a few hits for people wanting news about WiFi aboard flights. So here is a little feed for those searching for it…

On May 26, 2005, United and Verizon Airfone® received Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval to install the necessary cabin equipment to make possible passenger use of Wi-Fi devices on board United aircraft while in flight.

This is the first FAA approval granted for passenger use of wireless devices on board a domestic U.S. airline.

With this approval and continued technological enhancements, customers will soon be able to access high-speed wireless Internet service while flying United.
