Ryanair will use advertising or other revenue streams to ensure wi-fi access doesn't add to its costs, CEO Michael O'Leary said Europe's airlines are racing to add wi-fi to their planes, eager to attract internet-hungry customers in a cut-throat short-haul market and potentially add millions of dollars of revenue through entertainment, services and advertising. US airline passengers already have a chance of accessing wi-fi on 66% of miles flown, against a worldwide average of 24%, according to data from Routehappy, which rates flights worldwide on amenities such as seats and entertainment.
