Fliers might soon be able to use voice and video services through Wi-Fi onboard, with the department of telecommunications moving a proposal in this regard.
Currently, Wi-Fi services and phone calls are not allowed on flights flying over the Indian airspace.
"The department of telecommunications has already moved a proposal for providing inflight connectivity for voice, data and video services for consideration of the Committee of Secretaries," Minister of State for Civil Aviation Jayant Sinha informed the Rajya Sabha today.
In a written reply, he also said the proposal for providing onboard Wi-Fi
Various countries, including the US, allow inflight Wi-Fi services. Globally, many airlines are already offering Wi-Fi for passengers, but they currently have to switch off the facility when they enter the Indian airspace.
