Air Canada announced it has started trials from Thursday to offer internet service on board select flights on its Toronto-Los Angeles and Montreal-Los Angeles routes.

The carrier said it will analyze customers’ feedback during this test period — which runs until January 29, 2010 — before it proceeds with introduction of the service on other routes. “The ultimate rollout of our inflight internet service will be finalized pending the outcome of the trial period as well as obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals and the development of ground infrastructure in Canada to provide a domestic network“.

Passengers can access the service on their own Wi-Fi equipped laptop for $9.95 per flight or Personal Electronic Device (PED) for $7.95 per flight.
