   China Eastern Airlines has become the first Chinese carrier to provide Wi-Fi services on both domestic and international flights.


  According to the Ministry 1 of Industry and Information Technology, the carrier is allowed to use the AsiaSat-6 satellite for Wi-Fi services on its 21 aircraft from June 5th.
  The services are expected to be offered in a month as the airline clears up several formalities ahead of the launch.
  Zhang Chi, deputy director of the company's transition department, explains what this means for the airline.

  "According to our market research, over 86 percent passengers will take flights with internet services as a priority. So providing wifi service is an important strategy for the company to attract passengers, and that's why we've decided 2 to make this a standard service in our entire fleet. To make it happen, over 70 aircraft will be modified to install the necessary equipment before 2017."
  After the installation is completed, through the AsiaSat-6 satellite, airplanes in the sky can get connected with network devices in base stations on the ground.
  China Southern Airlines' senior engineer Mi Jisheng says the state-to-the-art technology enables air passengers to experience faster wifi service on plane than even at home.
  "First, with the new technology, the bandwidth will be about 50-fold faster than that of the previous traditional technology. Second, the communication network will be much larger than before, and this time with global coverage 3. About 99 percent of intercontinental routes will be covered with satellite signals."
  Currently, American Airlines, Qatar Airlines and many other foreign airlines offer wi-fi services on flights, with charges ranging from several US dollars to over twenty dollars.
  However, Zhang Chi with China Eastern Airlines says their service charges are expected to be free.
  "Through wifi access, we will offer a variety of internet services which are free for passengers. The service charges will be shared and paid by the airline and its business partners. We have collaborated 4 with China Union Pay for passengers on the plane to make real-time payment through a cloud platform, which is a breakthrough for online shopping during flights."
  With the commercialization of the service, passengers on plane can also enjoy a wide range of duty-free goods.
  Experts predict the Wi-Fi service could bring about new business opportunities, especially in social media and data services.
  Last year, around 390 million domestic Chinese passengers took flights and spent 1 billion hours in the air.
  For CRI, this is Wang Wei.
