In a significant milestone for Indian aviation, Air India has launched in-flight Wi-Fi services on domestic routes. This groundbreaking initiative makes Air India the first carrier in the country to provide connectivity on domestic flights. Passengers can now browse the internet, check emails, use social media, and exchange messages while flying, enhancing their travel experience.
Eligible Aircraft and Free Introductory Offer
The in-flight Wi-Fi service is available on Air India’s Airbus A350, Boeing 787-9, and select Airbus A321neo aircraft. Initially, the service is offered at no additional cost, making it even more attractive for passengers. The airline plans to extend this feature to more aircraft in its fleet in the future.
Seamless Connectivity at 10,000 Feet
The Wi-Fi service becomes accessible once the aircraft reaches an altitude of 10,000 feet. Passengers can connect multiple devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops, simultaneously. This enables them to stay connected with their personal and professional networks even during a domestic flight.
How to Use Air India Wi-Fi
Accessing in-flight Wi-Fi is simple. Passengers must enable Wi-Fi on their devices, select the “Air India Wi-Fi” network, and follow the prompts on the airline’s portal. After entering their PNR number and last name, they can enjoy uninterrupted internet access throughout the flight.
Redefining Travel Convenience
Rajesh Dogra, Air India’s Chief Customer Experience Officer, highlighted the importance of connectivity in modern travel. For some, it means comfort and convenience, while for others, it boosts productivity and efficiency. Regardless of the purpose, this service is expected to elevate the Air India experience.
Future Plans for Expansion
Air India is committed to enhancing its passengers’ experience and plans to roll out Wi-Fi services across more aircraft in its fleet. This move aligns with the airline’s vision of modernizing and redefining air travel in India.
Air India’s introduction of in-flight Wi-Fi marks a new era in domestic aviation, offering passengers the convenience of staying connected while traveling.
