Mobile operator Slovak Telekom has launched a pilot project for Wi-Fi services on airlines. The service under the Beta brand is currently available for customers during flights with the air carriers Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, and Eurowings.

The service will be free during the testing period until the end of February 2020. Wi-Fi service will be available at up to 600 kbps. All subscribers using fixed and mobile services from Slovak Telekom will be able to use the service during this period. Data volume and time of use are unlimited.

Customers need to be connected to postpaid tariffs and use the service management app. The new version of the application is available for both Android and iOS devices.
