“The Pilot-in-Command may permit the access of internet services by passengers on board an aircraft in flight, through Wii-Fi on board, when laptop, smartphone, tablet, smartwatch, e-reader or a point of sale device is used in flight mode or airplane mode,” a notification by Aviation Ministry, dated February 21, read.

“Provided that the Director-General shall certify the aircraft for usage of internet service in-flight through Wi-Fi on board subject to the procedures as specified in this behalf,” it further read.

Earlier, the Indian telecom regulator had also recommended that Internet and mobile communications on board aircraft (MCA) service should be allowed as In-Flight Connectivity (IFC).
