On a few of its As and s, it is not currently possible to offer the first 10MB free for technical reasons, but the airline is working hard to resolve the issue in the coming months, the airline said.

The airline also has an aggressive retrofit programme which will eventually see its entire fleet wifi enabled. Importantly, Emirates is subsidising or waiving the high cost of buying data for passenger use, it said.

In the first three years since Emirates launched inflight wifi connectivity, over half a million passengers have connected to the internet onboard an Emirates flight, and this demand is expected to increase exponentially, the Dubai carrier said.
