Houston-based Continental Airlines said on Wednesday that it will begin offering in-flight Internet on its fleet of 21 Boeing 757s starting in the second quarter of 2010.
Continental chose to partner with Aircell with its Gogo service which usually costs between $4.95 and $12.95 per flight depending on the length of the flight and the type of device the traveler is using to connect to the Internet.
"We've been closely watching technology developments to offer onboard connectivity for our customers," said Mark Bergsrud, Continental's senior vice president of marketing programs. "We are excited to be able to offer our customers Internet service, giving them the ability to connect to colleagues, friends and family and work, learn and play while flying."
American Airlines also uses the Gogo service while Southwest Airlines has chosen Row 44, a satellite-based system, to connect to the Internet inflight.
