Singapore Airlines selects OnAir
Singapore's national carrier will be the first Asian based airline to offer their passengers the complete range of inflight connectivity solutions
Customers travelling on Singapore Airlines flights will soon be able to stay connected at all times, even at 35,000 feet with OnAir's full suite of onboard communication offerings based on Inmarsat's SwiftBroadband.
Services include access to Wi-Fi Internet and mobile telephony. The mobile telephony services will enable customers to send and receive SMS text messages with their GSM-compatible mobile phones, send and receive email messages easily on Smartphones and Blackberry devices, and make and receive voice calls[1]. With plans to roll out the services from as early as the first half of 2011, Singapore Airlines will be the first major airline in Asia to launch a full suite of inflight connectivity services, following their tradition as leader in innovative passengers' services. These will be introduced progressively on flights operated by the Airline's Airbus A380, Airbus A340-500 and Boeing 777-300ER aircraft.
This agreement is extremely significant, says OnAir as it sends a strong signal to the industry that inflight passenger communications has come of age - and is a must-have for airlines looking to remain competitive in the future.

TAM Airlines launches OnAir inflight connectivity services in Brazil
First airline in the America's to launch a GSM service onboard
 On October 28th, TAM Airlines began offering inflight mobile communications to passengers traveling aboard its Airbus A321 operating between Guarulhos, Recife, Natal, Fortaleza and Porto Alegre.
TAM's service allows as many as eight passengers to make and receive calls simultaneously on a flight with no limits on data and text messaging.
Passengers can use their Smartphones onboard to access e-mails or surf the Internet and usage will be charged directly by the mobile network provider to the passenger's phone bill at rates set by his or her usual provider.
Today, TAM has already installed the system onboard an Airbus A321 equipped with 220 seats. The company plans to equip more aircraft on domestic routes with the technology starting in 2011.
