British Airways passengers will finally be able to stream Netflix films, browse the internet or post Instagram snaps at 30,000ft starting next year.
Wi-Fi will be available on 118 of the flag carrier’s planes by 2019 in a deal signed this week between its parent company, International Airlines Group, and Chicago-based Gogo.
Gogo’s satellite-based 2Ku technology promises internet speeds of up to 70Mbps – fast enough to stream Netflix or Amazon Prime programming on their own devices or even video chat with someone on the ground via Skype or FaceTime, although those services could be blocked.
