Lufthansa airways from October will introduce  broadband internet on board , after having equipped the entire wide-body aircraft fleet with internet, including the A330-300 to Nigerian destinations.

Lufthansa’s entire A320 family fleet is expected to have the innovative technology installed by mid-2018 as one key milestone has already been reached.

The first aircraft was equipped with the technology in June. In the coming weeks, the on-board system will be tested for functionality and stability. Lufthansa passengers will likely be able to use the new internet service from October as the first short and medium haul aircraft will take off with the internet.

The future service from Lufthansa and its technology partner Inmarsat is based on the latest broadband satellite technology (Ka-band)

Passengers will be able to access the internet using their own mobile devices via Wi-Fi. In addition to basic surfing and email, other more sophisticated applications will be possible, including video streaming.
