American Airlines plans to expand Internet access to about half its fleet of aircraft over the next two years as it attempts to raise revenue and improve customer service.
The company said Tuesday it will install flying WiFi hotspots on about 300 planes used in the continental U.S. and charge up to $12.95 for browsing the Web, sending email or connecting with corporate VPN sites. American has been testing in-flight Internet service for several months on 15 planes.
