Continental Airlines Starts to Provide Passengers with Gogo Inflight Internet

Continental Airlines has recently announced that, starting with the very second quarter of 2010, it will begin offering Gogo Inflight Internet service on its fleet of 21 Boeing 757-300 aircraft that basically serves domestic routes.

“We’ve been closely watching technology developments to offer onboard connectivity for our customers,” said Mark Bergsrud, Continental’s senior vice president of marketing programs. “We are excited to be able to offer our customers Internet service, giving them the ability to connect to colleagues, friends and family and work, learn and play while flying.”

 
This new Gogo Inflight Internet service sounds neat, and will offer customers full internet access on their own standard, Wi-Fi equipped laptop or Personal Electronic Device (PED), at similar speeds to those of wireless mobile broadband services on ground. Passengers will be allowed to sign in only after the aircraft reaches 10,000 feet.

Gogo is powered by the Aircell Network, available in the continental U.S. and will be accessible for costs starting at $4.95 and up, according to the length of the flight. Brilliant, now we will have internet cafés while flying, except we only get the internet and not a computer to use as well. I have always wondered what trickery they will find to make things profitable for them, now that internet is so affordable.

“Aircell and Continental share a common focus on putting our customers first,” said Ron LeMay, Aircell’s President and CEO. “The addition of Gogo Inflight Internet service to Continental’s suite of amenities is simply the latest example of the airline’s ongoing commitment to service excellence, and we’re proud to be part of that. Soon, Continental’s passengers will be able to use Gogo to do virtually anything they want on the Internet – e-mail, chat, poke, tweet, download, upload, shop. In short, flying time is about to become their time.”
