China’s first in-flight internet service was put into practice on July 3, with the Air China flight CA4108 from Beijing to Chengdu being the chosen flight.
Passengers were able to check their Weibo and emails during the flight using a free Wi-Fi network. This service is being hailed as a major breakthrough in the Chinese aviation industry.
