Singapore Air to offer in-flight WiFi

Singapore Airlines will reinstate WiFi internet services on long-haul flights by as early as the middle of next year. The airline said it had signed a multi-million dollar agreement with inflight connectivity provider OnAir.

The agreement covered wireless internet and GSM mobile telephone services. Internet prices would be available closer to launch, the airline said. Global roaming charges would apply for voice calls, SMS and BlackBerry email. The airline is no stranger to providing wireless internet on its long-haul flights.

In 2004, it signed an agreement to offer Boeing's Connexion in-flight broadband service. But the Connexion product was canned by Boeing in August 2006, leaving Singapore Airlines out in the cold. "Regrettably, the market for this service has not materialised as had been expected," Boeing chief Jim McNerney said at the time.
