NetJets Picks Aircell for In-Flight Internet

NetJets Picks Aircell for In-Flight Internet

Internet in the air isn't all about commercial aviation: NetJets, a fractional plane ownership business owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, will put Aircell's general aviation Internet product (Aircell High Speed Internet) in 250 of its mid-to-large aircraft.

NetJets has a fleet of 800 jets, which are used in increments by "owners," who opt for this rather than the expense of maintaining their own planes. It's hardly a crowd that pinches pennies; dollars, maybe. It's thus a perfect audience for heavy Internet use.
