You may soon be surfing the net on Air India's long-haul nonstops to North America, Europe, Southeast Asia and Australia. The airline has asked BSNL to work out the feasibility and give an estimate of the cost to install its aircraft with Wi-Fi on board. In addition, the airline has also started talks with some international onboard internet providers.
"We are keen to have internet on board as AI operates the longest flights out of India and this is a facility that is being increasingly provided by several leading global airlines. However, we are first trying to find out how much the project costs, and if found feasible, we will like to have the same on our aircraft," said a senior official. AI chief Ashwani Lohani recently met his BSNL counterpart Anupam Srivastava to take this issue forward.
