IPTK marketing to the low cost carriers (LCCs) who have yet to install connectivity. The legacy carriers (major airlines) have spent billions to provide their passengers with this, from Virgin Atlantic:

"You have two options – either pay £4.99 ($6.56) for the “WiFi Light” option that gives you 40 Megabytes (Mb) of data, or £14.99 ($19.72) for the “WiFi Max” 150Mb option."

That's with the latest Panasonic KU system

"The airline says “if you’re looking to only catch up on social media whilst soaring through the skies”, the £4.99 ($6.56) pass is the one for you. It adds “You’ll be all set to use messaging apps, email and carry out some simple web browsing”."

ITPK's fflya would give you that for free. And it's not a 3rd party, like Gogo, it's integrated into the airlines app so there's no need to log in or pay - ready to use gate to gate and even away from the airport. While on board fflya also presents you with bookeable discounted travel deals. Cars, hotels, attractions, etc for your destination. so you don't need to access third party websites for that.

Just a matter of time before the LCCs start using fflya. The cost to them for installation is minimal. IPTK makes money because apps and emails will have advertising ("brought to you by Avis," eg) and they get a piece of anything that's booked. So once in effect, hundreds of millions of passengers yearly means $$$.
