JiWire, Row 44 Bringing Wi-Fi to the Friendly Skies
Wi-Fi is coming to air travel. JiWire, a company that operates a local-based Wi-Fi ad network, announced Tuesday (Oct. 6) it has partnered with Row 44 to deliver the world’s first ever in-flight, ad-supported Wi-Fi service. Currently being tested on select planes operated by Southwest Airlines and Alaska Airlines, the joint JiWire and Row 44 Wi-Fi service is slated to launch in November. Airline partners will be announced at a later date.
Research by the Wi-Fi Alliance found that 76 percent of business travelers would choose an airline based on Wi-Fi availability.
