Wi-Fi on AirTran Airways Planes

AirTran Airways has tapped AirCell to offer passengers wireless, broadband Internet access on every flight starting mid-summer.

AirTran will have full inflight Internet service across its entire fleet of Boeing 737 and 717 aircraft. All 136 AirTran Airways jets will be fully outfitted with Gogo Inflight Internet service, which will be available to passengers for a fee based on the length of the flight, the Orlando, Fla.-based airline said.

"Installing Wi-Fi on every one of our aircraft is another great example of what sets AirTran Airways apart from our competitors," said Bob Fornaro, chairman, president and CEO of AirTran Airways, in a news release. "Giving business and leisure travelers a consistent, high-quality experience at a low price is a top priority. We feel that Wi-Fi on every flight gives us a distinct competitive advantage over other airlines."
