American Airlines said Tuesday it would launch free in-flight Wi-Fi in partnership with telecom firm AT&T for customers enrolled in the carrier’s loyalty program. Airlines are increasingly competing on free onboard internet access as they vie for loyalty-driven customers. “Free high-speed Wi-Fi isn’t just a perk — it’s essential for today’s travelers,” Heather Garboden, chief customer officer of American Airlines, said in a statement.
