Air Canada gets inflight internet

AIR CANADA has begun trials on Toronto – Los Angeles and Montreal – Los Angeles routes to offer its customers the Gogo Inflight internet service.  Following the test period which runs until 29 January 2010, Air Canada will analyze usage and customer feedback before it proceeds with introduction of the facility on other routes.  Customers can access the service using their own wi-fi equipped laptop at a cost of US$9.95 per flight or Personal Electronic Device (PED) at a cost of US$7.95 per flight.  Initially, the Gogo system will be powered by Aircell's existing network and only available in the continental USA in order to make Air Canada's rollout fast, economical and simple.  Air Canada intends to extend the system on other routes in North America with the deployment of the Canadian Air-To-Ground (ATG) network.  Aircell plans to collaborate with the Canadian ATG licensee in supporting the establishment of a Canadian ATG network and in facilitating the fleet-wide deployment of Air Canada's onboard connectivity service. www.gogoinflight.com
