Passengers Deserve Telecommunications Choices on Aircraft

The Inflight Passenger Communications Coalition was organized to better inform the traveling public of new communications technologies that safely enable voice and data service while traveling in U.S. airspace.

Rapidly being adopted around the world, inflight communications service allows airline passengers to use their own cell phone and smartphones to send and receive voice calls, text messages, emails and web access as if they were on the ground.

We hope this interactive site provides a well rounded discussion of the benefits and facts of inflight connectivity and choice.

We welcome you to explore our site. We hope the traveling public will become more aware of section 423 in H.R.915, and learn how communications connectivity technology is being accepted and adopted on commercial airlines in Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.

We also invite you provide your feedback and opinion by taking part in our survey on this important issue.

"Interest in advanced inflight connectivity services is higher than ever," said Benoit Debains, CEO of OnAir. In the current environment, airlines have to continue to improve services for their passengers, generate additional revenue and maximize operational efficiency. OnAir has introduced the latest technology and has operated over 40,000 flights to date with its mobile phone service. According to a recent survey, 93% of passengers who have used Mobile OnAir would like to be able to use it on every flight."
