Continental is postponing the installation of onboard Internet because the airline wants to "determine in-flight Internet connectivity solutions in the context of a merged carrier."
In December, Continental said it planned a second-quarter launch of Aircell’s Internet service on the airline’s Boeing 757-300 aircraft. That announcement occurred before United and Continental unveiled merger plans in May.
United offers Aircell’s service on transcontinental flights from New York to Los Angeles and San Francisco.
