Mobile Communications on board Aircraft (MCA) | Ofcom

Ofcom are allowing airline operators to offer mobile communications on aeroplanes (known as Mobile Communications on Aircraft or MCA).

MCA will fall under a licensed regime (under the Wireless Telegraphy Act), though licenses will be issued on request under existing license variations - with no fees payable.

This will fall under a common European regime for European registered aircraft, it is hoped that this can be extended worldwide.
