WiFi

The government has allowed the use of portable electronic devices and access to internet services by passengers through WiFi on board. The aircraft offering internet service will have to get a nod from the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).

“The Pilot-in-Command may permit the access of internet services by passengers on board an aircraft in flight, through WiFi on board, when a laptop, smartphone, tablet, smartwatch, e-reader or a point of sale device is used in flight mode or airplane mode,” said the notification.
