JetBlue announced a new program offering “free and speedy,” broadband-quality Wi-Fi connectivity on every aircraft for all passengers, with full accessibility from the departure gate to the arrival gate.
According to a press release from the airline, Jet Blue’s “Fly-Fi” will offer the ability to stream video and use multiple devices at once, in addition to surfing the web and chatting on messaging apps.
“It’s 2017 and our customers expect to be connected everywhere, whether that be from the comfort of their sofa or 35,000 feet above it.” said Jamie Perry, vice president of marketing, JetBlue. “That’s why we’re so proud that JetBlue is now the only airline to offer free, high-speed Wi-Fi, live TV and movies.”
The Fly-Fi program began in December 2013 on a single aircraft and was just recently installed on its entire fleet of 227 Airbus A320s, A321s and Embraer 190s. The airline also offers free DIRECTV on its flights.
