Fly by Wi-Fi? As an emergency backup, maybe. As primary system, I doubt it. There are not that many channels available for transmitting such data. Working out the data protocols if many aircraft in close proximity were constantly transmitting would be an absolute nightmare, and still no guarantee that it would function reliably.

Think of the aircraft behind in the hold getting its signals garbled with yours..
