Any airline can benefit from IPTK's fflya system. Even if they already have wifi. Airlines are increasingly dependent on ancillary revenue, including in flight credit card purchases. Expensive wifi must be used now but with the fflya system credit card processing can be done using short burst data over bluetooth. There's no need for a pos terminal to be online, and there have been multiple articles over the years concerning how insecure inflight wifi connections can be. The fflya system is not "online." Transmissions are only made in short bursts and over different frequencies. Very secure.

Question: I’m throwing my laptop, tablet, and smartphone into my “personal item” and getting set for some summer travel. I’m ready to relax, but should I be concerned about connecting to airplane Wi-Fi when I fly?

Answer: Relaxation is a good idea, but don’t be too quick to relax about your Wi-Fi connection in flight. Inflight Wi-Fi is far from secure — and cybercriminals can target Wi-Fi networks used by travelers. In fact, they count on tourists getting into "vacation mode" and letting down their guard.

Why is unprotected in-flight Wi-Fi a bad idea? Here are two reasons.
One, hackers could access your connection while on public Wi-Fi and steal the private information you transmit, from bank account numbers to email messages and social media passwords. This might enable them to steal your money or take over your accounts.
Two, you could pick up a virus or malware that could infect your device and cause headaches for you long after you've landed.
It’s a good idea to avoid airplane internet if you can. It can be expensive, and the connection is often spotty at best. If you do connect, don't make any sensitive transactions, such as checking your bank balance or logging into your email.

“I hacked your email on the plane and read everything you sent and received. I did it to most people on the flight.” He had verbatim detail of a long email that he repeated back to me essentially word for word. In fact, as Steve Nolan, Gogo’s vice president of communications, told me, the service is “public” and “operates in the same ways as most open Wi-Fi hotspots on the ground.” He cautioned against “accessing sensitive materials while in flight.”
