AirTran 100% Internet equipped

AirTran promised in May that 100% of their fleet would be equipped for inflight Internet, and it seems they have delivered. Gogo Inflight Internet is now on all 136 of AirTran's aircraft.


"Promise made, promise delivered," said Bob Fornaro, chairman, president and CEO of AirTran Airways. "When you get onboard an AirTran Airways jet, you know exactly what you're going to get -- an assigned seat on a full-sized, new Boeing jet with Business Class, a friendly crew, complimentary XM Satellite Radio and now Wi-Fi. It's that consistent, low-cost, high-quality experience that sets us apart from our competitors."


With that accomplished, the airline is rolling out an “Internetiquette” campaign to teach people how to surf the Web in-flight without offending or annoying their neighbors.  You can catch some of these tongue-in-cheek Internetiquette tips and videos by logging onto http://www.airtran.com/internetiquette/

Living on an AirTran for a month

That's right, comedian Mark Malkoff is living on an AirTran Airways plane for the month of June. He'll use AirTran Airways’ new Wi-Fi service to blog about his experience from 35,000 feet.

Malkoff plans to stay on the plane for 30 days straight as he attempts to break a Guinness Book of World Records continuous flight record. He’ll fly to up to 12 cities each day and at night sleep on board the plane at its hub in Atlanta.
