In-flight mobile trials not going smoothly
There are several in-flight mobile use trials on the way at the moment, and the issue is on everyone’s lips. But trial by Air France is reportedly not running very smoothly. The British Airways has announced it will not be introducing the service any time soon.
On Air France flights, there seem to be several difficulties in using mobile phones. The connection is slow and of poor quality, and incoming calls and emails are not yet able to get through to the planes.

Despite these reported issues, Ryanair will be introducing its own trial of mobile usage on flights later this year onboard 20 aircrafts.
“Mobiles have become such an extension of people’s lives that it is only natural to bring them into air travel,” Ryanair says to Telegraph.
