Air New Zealand has started trialling its new inflight Wi-Fi service on one of its long-haul Boeing 777-300 aircraft.
The airline is rolling out Wi-Fi capability across its international jet fleet, beginning with the 777-300 fleet.
Further Wi-Fi enabled aircraft will become available in coming months.
Air New Zealand chief digital officer Avi Golan says the airline has been working closely with its partners to prepare for the launch of inflight Wi-Fi which will enable customers to access email, social media channels, web browsing and go shopping while travelling.
"We're launching inflight Wi-Fi as a trial initially in order to gather customer feedback and ensure it meets the needs of our customers before we roll it out across our international jet fleet," Mr Golan said.
"The service will be available progressively with the installation of inflight Wi-Fi on our Boeing 777-300 fleet expected to be completed by June 2018 and our Boeing 777-200 fleet rolling out from April next year."
