August 13, 2014Indian authorities have so far not allowed the use of Wi-Fi in their skies. However, India's aviation regulator DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) recently lifted the ban on using portable electronic devices (PED) including mobile phones while flying. India's national carrier Air India had earlier said that it would request the authorities to lift the ban on Wi-Fi use.
