US Airways Group Inc. will provide Wi-Fi service on its aircraft beginning early next year.
The carrier, the third-largest at Sacramento International Airport, has hired Aircell to provide Internet access for passengers with laptops, smartphones and other Wi-Fi-enabled devices.
Financial terms of the agreement weren’t disclosed.
The pricing for Gogo Inflight Internet on US Airways will be announced closer to the launch date. Customers will be able to choose services from Aircell’s standard pricing structure, which currently ranges from $5.95 to $12.95.
“Gogo Inflight Internet will allow our customers to make the most of their flying time by catching up on work or relaxing and surfing the Internet,” said Andrew Nocella, senior vice president of marketing and planning. “This is an exciting new option for our passengers that we believe will enhance their travel experience.”
The service initially will be installed on select domestic flights on US Airways A321 aircraft. Later next year, customers can ascertain if Wi-Fi is available on a specific flight by looking for the Wi-Fi icon while booking their flight on usairways.com.
Aircell, a marketer of airborne communications, has operations in Broomfield, Colo., and Itasca, Ill.
US Airways (NYSE: LCC), based in Tempe, Ariz., operates more than 3,200 flights daily to about 200 destinations.
