Inflight Wi-Fi expansion announced
United to expand Wi-Fi service
CO Tuesday executed a letter of intent with inflight entertainment provider LiveTV to offer inflight Wi-Fi via Ka-Band beginning next year. We plan to offer the service on more than 200 domestic Boeing 737 and 757 aircraft equipped with DIRECTV®. The service would provide onboard connectivity and more than 95 channels of live television programming to customers flying within the continental United States.
United currently offers inflight Internet service on 14 aircraft, including all p.s.® flights on our JFK-LAX and JFK-SFO routes.
The planned expansion of inflight Wi-Fi services highlights our commitment to providing unique options that enable customers to customize their travel experiences. We continue to reconfigure UA and CO aircraft with new flat-bed seats in premium cabins — with the new flat-bed product already on 116 aircraft in our combined fleet, more than any other U.S.-based carrier. We also intend to begin installation of Economy Plus seating on CO aircraft beginning in 2012.
