 Emirates Airlines announced yesterday that passengers will no longer have to switch off their mobile phones and will be allowed to make calls and text people during their journey on-board.
The first flight with authorized mobile phone calls was made on 20th of March between Dubai and Casablanca on-board of an Emirates Airbus A340-300 fitted with AeroMobile system, which ensures mobile telephones operate at minimum power during flights and make sure mobile phone signal does not interfere with aircraft navigation equipments.
A second aircraft equipped with the same AeroMobile system will be in service shortly.
Rates were not published, but in 2007, cost per minute was estimated between 2.50 and 3.50 USD.

Saw yesterday night on TV.
Last Saturday, during powerful storm Emma, 39 years-old Lufthansa pilot attempted to land his Airbus A320 with 131 passengers in Hamburg’s Fuhlsbüttel airport.
Facing winds up to 90 km/h at the moment of the landing, the left wing grazed the runway for a moment, but the pilot was able to stabilise the aircraft and take off.
The plane landed safely 15 minutes later on its second attempt.
All passengers and crew were unharmed and the aircraft was only slightly damaged. After having its wing tip replaced the A320 was expected to be back in service on Monday.
Well Done Captain !
