Alaska Airlines Has Internet Service in Half Its Fleet

Alaska Airlines has ramped up rapidly since its agreement with Aircell to use Gogo Inflight Internet: The airline has half its fleet--all 55 737-800s and 10 737-900s--equipped with in-flight Wi-Fi. The remaining 737-900s (2 of them) will be unwired in July, and the 737-400 and 737-700 fleets will gain service by the end of the year.

Aircell agreed to put substantial service in the state of Alaska as part of its arrangement with the airline, with a commitment to have it ready by early 2011. Aircell will eventually have a Canadian network, too, run by a Canadian partner that will aid in Alaska coverage.
