Qantas Group General Manager of Customer Product and Services, Ms Lesley Grant, said the airline would evaluate the technology over a three-month period on a Boeing 767 aircraft operating on Australian domestic routes. "Qantas will be one of the first airlines in the world to offer this service." Ms Grant said Qantas' research indicated that customers were increasingly demanding the same range of services in the air as those available on the ground." It will be interesting to see how this flies. No pun intended. While the debate over whether people should be chatting on cellphones during flights will never end, it looks like it is coming to an airplane near you soon. What do you think?
