The airline plans to begin customer testing early this summer. The airline's goal is to roll out this product on Wi-Fi-enabled aircraft starting this fall pending FAA certifications.

American Airlines is the first North American airline to take hold of streaming entertainment. After take off, you can switch on your mobile device and pick a movie or television show to watch.
