"The planes in an airline’s fleet that fly trans-Atlantic, for example, will be equipped with satellite. It takes more time to install on an airplane, though — in fact, it means taking the plane out of service from four days to a week, which means the airline loses $1 million or more just to add Wi-Fi to the plane. And those domes that connect with orbiting satellites, which are mounted on the top of the plane, add enough wind resistance to increase fuel consumption by 0.3 percent — which adds up over time, and yes, is added to the cost of your ticket."
