Airlines Vie with Onboard EntertainmentExpanded in-flight entertainment and connectivity are the keys to airlines’ efforts to woo passengers in 2012. Japan Airlines will offer high-speed Internet connections on select international flights beginning this summer, installing Panasonic broadband on Boeing 777s and on routes between Japan and European and North American gateways, eventually extending to its entire long-range fleet. Passengers in every class with their own WiFi-enabled equipment will have broadband Internet. Visit http://www.jal.co.jp. American Airlines is expanding its in-flight streaming video, already available on Boeing 767-200 flights and on more than 90 MD-80 aircraft. By year’s end, American expects to have about 400 aircraft where passengers can wirelessly stream more than 100 movies and TV shows to their own WiFi-enabled laptops, without having to purchase in-flight WiFi.
