Indeed good news for fliers. Air passengers in India can now access in-flight Wi-Fi internet services. The Union civil aviation ministry, in a long-awaited move, has lifted the restrictions. The government permitted airlines operating in India to provide internet access to passengers, through a notification issued on Monday. Passengers can now access WiFi services on several devices — laptops smartphones, tablets, smartwatch, e-reader or point-of-sale devices — online after receiving the permission from the pilot-in-command, as per the amended aircraft rules published on February 29.
