‘In-flight wi-fi charges to be decided by airlines’: Hardeep Singh Puri

Centre permitted airlines in India to provide in-flight wi-fi services.

Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri expressed his ‘happiness’ on the decision.

Puri also said that charges will depend on the airlines concerned.

He added, “It’s a commercial decision for the airline to take.” Devices using in-flight WiFi will have to be on airplane mode.
