As a result of the recent ban on use of information and
communication technology (ICT) gadgets and other electronic devices on United
Kingdom and United States-bound flights by the authorities, Turkish Airlines has provided an alternative way of making its passengers access
state-of-the-art laptop onboard to continue with their business, reports ITRealms.
The service, ITRealms
gathered, is touted as yet another innovation from Turkish Airlines for its
U.S. and U.K. bound flights, would be accessible to Nigerian passengers and
other nationalities, who are business class (BC) passengers of the flights.
Turkish Airline in a press statement made available to ITRealms, affirmed this development,
saying that its flights to the most countries of the world, would continue to evolve
new solutions for its passengers with respect to the electronics ban, applied
on US and UK-bound flights.
“The national flag carrier has now started to offer laptops
for its business class passengers of U.S. bound flights as from today. It will
also launch the same practice for its U.K. bound business class passengers as
of 12th May, 2017,” the statement said.
By the new service, Turkish Airlines said those passengers
will be able to uninterruptedly be taken up with their personal things to do on
their laptops above the clouds, while they can experience the Planet, seamless
in-flight entertainment system of Turkish
Airlines, on the other side.
“Within the context of this new practice, those passengers
who deliver their personal laptops to the authorized TK staff before their
flight, can request a laptop from the cabin crew in order to follow their
business or personal processes on-board during the flight.
“Those laptops, that have the feature of being a tablet
after being folded and as well as a touchscreen property, will be offered
through a high security system which protect the personal information/works of
the passengers by automatically and permanently deleting them all from the
system when the notebook computer having shut down,” the airline said.
However, “if those passengers who wish to make a copy from
those personal works to an USB memory stick, can easily do that,” said the
statement.
