Oman Air offering internet, mobile connectivity
2 Mar 2010
Oman Air has announced that it is introducing inflight internet and mobile phone connectivity on its Airbus A330 aircraft.
The carrier described the move as a 'pioneering milestone in the history of aviation' and claimed that it is the first airline to offer both mobile and internet services on its flights.
In a statement announcing the new technology, the company said: 'Offering inflight connectivity is part of Oman Air's ongoing drive to continuously enhance … [the] customer travel experience and offer them innovative services commensurate with the latest technological developments.'
Mobile connectivity will be available at all times except take-off and landing, allowing passengers to make and receive calls and text messages.
The services will carry roaming charges similar to those applied when travellers use phones on a foreign network.
Access to the internet during Oman Air flights will be the same as going online from public Wi-Fi hotspots, allowing users to access websites and send and receive emails.
