Interesting comments. Maybe
not providing mobile conections will become a selling point too?
After the European Commission's announcement in Brussels, a spokesperson for German airline Lufthansa said the company is hesitant to institute the service. A poll revealed that passengers would be disturbed by telephone calls during flights and the company does not have concrete plans to introduce mobile capability.
A spokeswoman for the country's second largest airline, Air Berlin, said they won't allow phone calls on flights either. Most people, especially business travelers, would find it annoying, she said, adding that the technology will likely be used to provide internet connection instead.
