The Civil Aviation Administration of China said that the satellite communication system that it required Chinese airlines to set up will not be used for passenger services such as in-flight entertainment, Beijing News reported on Wednesday.
CAAC, the country's top civil aviation regulator, said in a draft proposal on Tuesday that airline companies will have satellite communication equipment installed from 2013 to 2016.
The new move has increased wide speculation that the satellite communication system would also provide long-awaited in-flight wireless services for passengers. However, the CAAC said the system would only be used to assist communication between the cockpit and ground control.
