Turkish Airlines flights to become noisier come Q4 2010 with inflight calling. Oh joy…
For better or worse, passengers on Turkish Airlines will soon be able to traverse the (literal) air waves of the planet when tens of thousands of feet above the ground and yack away on their phones as long as they please. The new found mile high yackery is being brought to Turkish Airlines passengers compliments of Panasonic Avionics who has won the sole contract to provide the tech.
Out of the 12 Boeing 777-300ERs and 10 Airbus A330-300 aircraft that Turkish Airlines maintain, the first plane to receive the full allotment of upgraded communications will hit the scene sometime in Q4 2010. While I’m generally opposed to having to be stuck next to someone yacking away about god knows what, mobile phone use of any kind in the skies is a big plus — one that the bureaucracies in the US have failed to grasp so far.can’t Believe me, every time I see or hear some stupid message about “mobile electronics never being allowed during takeoff/landing”, I literally want to punch the nearest person. It’s more frustrating than anything. But I digress.
Turkish Airlines passengers, be sure to let us know how it all goes down this winter.
