Starting today, millions of Virgin Atlantic passengers will be able to email, browse and socialise at 35,000ft as the carrier becomes the first European airline to offer WiFi across its entire fleet.

 

The Virgin Atlantic Wifi access service, which uses Panasonic and Gogo technology, will costs customers at least £2.99. It allows passengers to connect shortly after take-off and remain online until shortly before landing.

 

Mark Anderson, Executive Vice President, Customer at Virgin Atlantic, said: 'From today customers flying around the world with Virgin Atlantic can work and play throughout their flight as we become the first airline in Europe to offer a fully Wi-Fi enabled fleet.

 

'Innovation has always been in our blood and we've worked closely with Wi-Fi providers to develop the fastest, most reliable connection across the Atlantic, and are the first carrier to offer Wi-Fi between the UK and the Caribbean, China and Africa.

 

'And of course we wouldn't be Virgin Atlantic if we weren't going to signify this moment with something special, so we've planned a summer of spectacular #LiveFromVirgin events for our customers. Keep an eye out on our social channels for your chance to get involved.'
