JAL launches in-flight Internet Service

Japan Airlines is to introduce an in-flight high-speed Internet connection service – JAL SkyOnline - on December 9 on the airline’s Tokyo-London route on flights JL401/402.

JAL SkyOnline is based on an Internet access system provided by Connexion by Boeing. With JAL SkyOnline passengers will be able to use their own wireless LAN compatible computers to enjoy real-time Internet access during flight.

JAL is launching JAL SkyOnline service initially on the Tokyo-London route which has particularly high customer demand for in-flight Internet access services. JAL also intends to install the system on aircraft on other long-distance routes notably between Japan and Europe and Japan and the Americas.

In the initial three months, a Connexion by Boeing support specialist will be on board the flights to support Internet use by customers in both English and Japanese.
