Taiwan’s China Airlines will begin providing travellers in all cabin classes with free wifi access next month.
The airline will offer complimentary wifi for messaging services on all routes flown by 777, A350 and A321neo aircraft from August 1, making China Airlines the first Taiwanese carrier to offer free Internet access for all travellers and cabin classes.
While Premium Business Class and Premium Economy Class travellers will enjoy unlimited web browsing, Economy Class travellers will be able to send text messages for free through communication software such as LINE, Messenger, and Whatsapp. Dynasty Flyer Paragon, Emerald, and Gold members will also be entitled to unlimited web browsing regardless of cabin class.
China Airlines has responded to the traveller’s need for in-flight wifi connectivity by investing in upgrades to the onboard networking equipment. Selected aircraft are also equipped with the Fantasy Sky Wireless In-flight Entertainment, which provides access to in-flight services such as movies, TV shows, music, and flight information through passengers’ smart devices. The exclusive in-flight entertainment service is planned for the A330 fleet as well.
