Business Travel New is reporting that IAG, the group that owns and operates British Air, Aer Lingus, Iberia and Vueling will start to roll out Wi-Fi on Airbus 321s and 320 starting in 2017.
My travel the last few years in Europe has been rather frequent, and I've always been amazed at the lack of Wi-Fi on planes other than on Norwegian Airlines and the occasional plane that was really a long haul piece of equipment. The big reason was always the short duration of the flights and the cost to retrofit so many planes. But with more new satellite technology coming on board, and with smaller, lighter and more efficient on board the plane technology, the interest has finally blossomed.
With this type of news, one has to wonder just how soon the Asian airlines add Wi-Fi with regard to short haul travel.
