Air Canada and Calgary's WestJet Airlines Ltd. decided to have in-flight Internet for its passengers, following the footsteps of American Airlines, which recently announced to offer a broadband service in collaboration with U.S. network provider Aircell.

Aircell is interested in offering its Gogo Web service to both Air Canada and WestJet, reports the European Journalism Centre (EJC).

Aircell also announced that it was in partnership with Transport Canada and Industry Canada in order to get the necessary licenses to operate.

Aircell would not release information regarding how many passengers are accessing the in-flight service, “for competitive reasons,” according to EJC.
