South Korea's SK Telecom Co. announced on Wednesday that it launched the T In-flight wi-fi service.

This service will initially be available on six airlines: Lufthansa, Japan Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, Air Canada, Qatar Airways, and Etihad Airways.

Previously, in-flight wi-fi services required customers to check the availability and make payments through each airline’s website, and in some cases, subscriptions were only possible after boarding.

Domestic airlines provide their own Wi-Fi services through contracts with satellite service providers.

SK Telecom explained that the T In-flight Wi-Fi service can be easily subscribed to via the SK Telecom T Roaming website and airport roaming centers, without going through the airlines.
