Air France tests in-flight mobile phone use

Air France-KLM has started the first trial in Europe of the in-flight use of mobile phones, reports the FT.

"The service has been introduced this week onboard an Air France A318 operating on short-haul routes in Europe.

Initially passengers will be able to send and receive text and picture messages as well as e-mails via phones with internet access. In the second stage of the six-month trial passengers will be able to make and receive phone calls."
