The service is also available on selective Emirates in-country flights between Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi.

The service which enables indigo customers to stay connected and surf the web, access their emails and send & receive MMS through their BlackBerry and GPRS connection at cruise altitude is also available on major international flight routes of Air France through partner network OnAir.

Mobilink plans to aggressively widen the sphere of their in-flight services to other airlines in the near future, further enhancing and facilitating their indigo customer’s connectivity options.
