Lufthansa, the largest airline in Europe, has launched its in-flight phone service in partnership with AeroMobile. Now, passengers can use their phones to send text messages and surf the web on the plane. Read on to find out more.
Up to eight aircraft are already in service, and the German carrier says it is going to roll out cell phone connectivity across its whole long-haul fleet of more than 100 planes this year.
The AeroMobile service, which lets passengers roam as they would in a foreign country, is available on select A330s in the Lufthansa fleet. These planes fly from Frankfurt and Munich to the Middle East and North America.
Once the service is launched, customers will be able to keep in touch with their loved ones on their personal mobile phones while on the plane.
It is worth noting that AeroMobile has cell phone roaming agreements with over 240 cell phone operators around the world, including Three, Vodafone, O2, EE, T-Mobile, AT&T and O2 Germany, to name a few.
Hopefully, people will appreciate this move by the company and find it really useful while travelling by plane to other countries.
