Add some punch
to that plane ride

The FAA has granted Aircell, the in-flight internet access provider for American Airlines and Virgin America, the permits necessary to launch online wi-fi service in the sky.

According to Ars Technica, Aircell may deploy its technology on any aircraft deemed fit to use it, including American Airlines' Boeing 767-200 transcontinental fleet and certain crafts operated by Virgin America.

American Airlines has not commented on how much the service will cost, and no launch date has been set. The topic of bringing wi-fi to the in-flight experience has permeated airlines since last year.
