Boeing has now obtained approval from the United States Communications Authority to go ahead with its plan to equip aircraft with high-speed Internet access.
With the new service, users will be able to stay connected for business and personal purposes, exchange real-time e-mail and access new sources of entertainment and news while in the air.
It is expected to cost travellers around US$20 to US$25 an hour and is already available to the US private business jet market.
The system, which requires a special antenna, will now be installed on commercial airliners, following this approval.
