After Boeing switched off Connexion by Boeing, Air France has become the first airline in the world to offer an in-flight mobile phone service on international flights.  Using the Mobile OnAir system, passengers travelling on board of one of the Airbus A318 aircraft operating European routes can now send and receive SMS and MMS messages as well as send and receive E-Mails via all phones with Internet access. During the second half of the six month trial, passengers will also be able to make and receive phone calls, with the service being regulated to maintain passengers' comfort and well-being.
