Lufthansa and Connexion by Boeing Declare Success for In-Flight Broadband

Lufthansa and Connexion by Boeing declared that their 3-month trial of on-board, W-Fi broadband services along a transatlantic route was a success based on passenger usage and response. Lufthansa began testing the service on 15-Janaury-2003 on its Frankfurt-to Washington/Dulles route. An average of 50-80 simultaneous users per flight accessed the service, with 95% of respondents to post-flight surveys reporting being very or extremely satisfied with the service. In the months ahead Lufthansa and Connexion by Boeing will complete a thorough analysis of data gathered during the service demo and incorporate those results into the ongoing service refinement. Lufthansa will decide whether to equip its long-haul fleet of aircraft with the Connexion by Boeing service, which would commence in 2004.
