All Nippon Airways passengers are now able to purchase internet access on-board selected international flights using the new ANA Wi-Fi Service.

Passengers will be able to use their own devices, such as smartphone or tablet, to surf the web, access e-mail and update social networks including Facebook and Twitter and more.

The new service is introduced in response to customer requests for on-board internet access, as more people become accustomed to using smartphone and tablet technology on the move.

“We are delighted to introduce this service which will allow our customers to experience even more convenient and enjoyable flights with ANA,” read a statement from the airline.

The service will be provided in partnership with JSAT Mobile Communications which supports the ‘Internet OnAir’ Wi-Fi service in Japan.
