Mobile use in-flight due in 2006.
As reported by The Guardian and Computing, two airlines are going to allow passengers "to make and receive calls, as well as send and receive emails and text messages, on flights within the UK and Europe. The service will be trialled once regulatory issues have been decided."
"This trial will guide us on usage patterns and some of the social issues in using mobile phones on aircraft," said BMI chief executive Nigel Turner. "It will also help us to confirm the business case for rolling the service out across the remainder of the fleet."
