London -- Vodafone Group, the largest mobile network operator in the world, announced on Monday that it is working with the Boeing Company through business unit Connexion by Boeing to deliver in-flight Wi-Fi to business customers. Vodafone said the two companies would begin trials later this month and eventually negotiate a full partnership agreement if the trials are successful. "Following successful trials and Vodafone entering into a commercial agreement with us, Vodafone customers will be able to access the Connexion by Boeing service on equipped commercial flights as we introduce high-speed in-flight connectivity worldwide," said David Friedman, vice president of Marketing and Direct Sales for Connexion by Boeing. Vodafone said the service would most likely be available first on Germany's Lufthansa jets in Europe. All Nippon Airways, China Airlines, Japan Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines and Singapore Airlines will also start offering Connexion by Boeing in the near future, the company said.
