Air Serbia has completed the roll out of its in-flight Internet and mobile connectivity services - Wi-Fly, with the last aircraft fitted with the technology just over a week ago, ending a six month installation process. Powered by the Panasonic Avionics Corporation, the service is now available across the carrier's Airbus fleet. Pricing for Internet services start at 4.90 euros for thirty minute access (download limit 20 MB), 8.90 euros for sixty minute access (download limit 50 MB) and 13.90 euros for access throughout the duration of the flight (download limit 90 MB). The mobile connectivity solution incorporates roaming agreements with other operators and can be accessed by passengers through their roaming-enabled GSM mobile phones and smart phones to make and receive phone-calls, send and receive SMS messages and emails, and use mobile data services. Mobile telephone usage is billed by the passenger’s mobile service providers based on applicable international roaming rates. The Wi-Fly system becomes available as the aircraft reaches 10.000 feet. Air Serbia is the first airline in the region to offer the service.

ReplyDelete20mb download limit? So you open Facebook front page one time and that is it?
ReplyDeleteThat's about it. It can be feasible with Whatsapp or similar apps, but everything else, no way.
DeleteI don't know if oyu have trouble reading, but it says "download" limit. Not "browsing" limit.
Deletehaha Bworsing limit hahaha,
Deletedude you are so stupid hahahahhaah made my day
Browsing is the same as downloading. When you are browsing, the browser downloads assets, which in case of my Facebook come to about 15mB for the first request.
DeleteImagine if one of your apps starts to update automatically...
ReplyDeleteThis is the most pathetic internet package on-board. Very expensive and extremely limited - They should see what competitors are doing otherwise this will be a wasted investment - on my flight from Abu dhabi a few passengers were keen to use it but when the crew disclosed the limits, all gave up, self included.
