deal that will see Ryanair’s entire fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft fitted
with OnAir’s onboard mobile communications solution.

Ryanair, Europe’s largest low fares airline, today (19th Feb) launched
its in-flight mobile phone service initially onboard 20 of its (mainly)
Dublin based aircraft. This is the first step in fitting Ryanair’s
entire fleet of over 170 aircraft to allow all passengers to make and
receive mobile calls and texts on all Ryanair flights.

Disagreement on timing for a fleet roll-out, among other issues, led
OnAir to terminate its agreement to provide on-board to-fit mobile phone
service across budget carrier Ryanair's fleet.

The use of Mobile Phones is not permitted onboard any Ryanair aircraft.

Probably also because O'Leary tried to bid for the equipment at an
unrealistically low level and, when the equipment provider declined, he
became verbally abusive.
