The Dubai-based airline, whose flights includes services between London and Dubai, has introduced in-flight mobiles in 2006. In Apr 2008, Ryanair is understood to be planning mobile use on all European flights while Air France, BMI and the Portuguese carrier TAP are running six-month trials to gauge passenger reaction. Other airlines are not planning to allow calls. Lufthansa said yesterday that it would allow only internet usage after research showed that a large majority of passengers were opposed to the use of mobile phones.

In North America this year, will airlines allow us to call home from my cell phone while the airplane is flying thousands kilometers above the ground?
