British Airways to offer limited cell phone use on London to JFK flights

News by Michael Oryl on Monday January 26, 2009.

According to Britain's Telegraph.co.uk, British Airways is set to offer limited in-flight mobile phone service on its business class-only flights between London and JFK in New York. Passengers will be limited to using only text messaging and internet data when the service launches this autumn, but a British Airways spokesperson said that BA will listen to feedback from its customers and will consider adding voice call support as well at a later date.

Last year Emirates became the first airline to offer in-flight cell phone service. Since then, Australia's Qantas and Ireland's Ryanair both announced plans to offer some form of in-flight cell phone service.
