Mobile trials begin
Air France is to trial joint venture OnAir's in-flight mobile phone service on an Airbus A318 for six months from July. For the first three months passengers will be able to use their phones for sending text messages and e-mails, followed by both voice and data messages for the second three-month period. As part of its three-month trial, passengers on some Qantas Airways domestic flights are now able to send and receive e-mails and text messages.
