Virgin America Promises Wi-Fi on Every Flight
Filed in archive Wi-Fi by jeff goldman on September 13, 2007

Virgin America today announced a partnership with AirCell to offer on-board Wi-Fi access on every flight "sometime in 2008."
"We believe that broadband connectivity on our planes will help enhance the inflight experience for our guests," says Virgin America's Charles ogilvie
. "Whether it's IMing with your friends, updating your blog, getting a stock quote, sending photos from your trip to friends, watching a movie or sending a work email, we plan to make it all available on a Virgin America plane."
And as BoingBoing's Xeni Jardin notes, "VA will also be offering what amounts to a fleet-wide, airborne social network. Guests on one plane will be able to interact with other guests on that plane - and with flyers on other planes within the VA fleet - using Red. As I understand it, they've got some pretty ambitious plans in the works for in-flight interactivity. This could get really interesting."
