Connexion by
Boeing has been chosen to provide in-flight Internet access for e-mail, data and voice services for the Government of Japan. The
agreement calls for the installation of the Connexion by Boeing mobile information service on two 747-400 executive transport aircraft operated by
the Government of Japan starting in February 2007. Installation of the Connexion by Boeing next-generation antenna will be performed by Japan
Airlines.
"This decision by the Government of Japan reinforces the value of in-flight connectivity, and the importance of real-time information for critical
decision-making needs," said Ed Laase, director, Connexion by Boeing Government and Executive Programs. "While the Connexion service is
used by airline passengers worldwide, there also is huge value in real-time information and Internet access for this specialized area of executive
transportation."
The two aircraft to be modified are used by the Government of Japan to provide transportation for the Emperor and high-ranking
government officials.
