A discussion about the airline industry, airline employees, and all things related

Continental Airlines (CAL) will become the latest US airline to offer in-flight web access.  The in-flight web access will be provided by LiveTV, a wholly owned subsidiary of JetBlue Airways.  The web access is based on the successful testing of the system. 

Continental will also begin offering in-flight entertainment.  The Houston based carrier will offer up to 36 channels free to first class passengers and for a nominal $6 fee to those in economy. 

The service will be offered to passengers on Continental’s new Boeing 737’s and Boeing 757-300’s joining the fleet in January. 

Continental does not look to make money off this venture but to enhance customer services.  This looks to be a good investment for Continental.  They are committed to providing the best customer service they can all while keeping their airline viable.  Continental would not invest in a service that they believed would not work.  I just wonder how much JetBlue will be getting out of this investment by CO.
