Singapore Airlines Ltd., the world’s second-largest carrier by market capitalization, said it will equip long-range wide-body planes with Internet and phone-message access to meet growing demand from business travelers.
The carrier signed a contract with OnAir NV, an onboard-communications provider part-owned by aircraft maker Airbus SAS, to install Wi-Fi Internet and mobile-phone links on the planes in 2011, Singapore Airlines said today. The company will make the services available on Airbus A340-500s and A380s and Boeing Co.’s 777-300ER models.
