Service Advisory
On Aug. 17, 2006, the Boeing Company announced that a detailed business and market analysis of Connexion by Boeing is complete, and
the company has decided to exit the high-speed broadband communications connectivity markets. Boeing will work with its customers to
facilitate an orderly phase out of the Connexion by Boeing service. Passengers traveling on Internet-equipped flights will be able
to use the service until it is phased out between now and the end of the year, depending on the airline.
