While Air India has just started operating flights over the North Pole, Emirates Airlines is all set to take a big step ahead of the national carrier of India.<\/strong> In the latest announcement, Emirates revealed plans to make its flights to and from the USA, over the North Pole, more entertaining and interesting than ever.<\/p>\n

Emirates flights between the US and Dubai experience a blackout period while making their way over the polar region, leaving passengers without Wi-Fi connectivity for several hours. The hours-long disruption of inflight connectivity on Emirates\u2019 polar flights will be a thing of the past in the near future. If things go as planned by 2022, travelers on Emirates flights from USA<\/span><\/a> will be able to make phone calls, watch live TV shows and use Wi-Fi while flying 40,000 feet over the North Pole and Arctic Circle.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Emirates<\/p>\n

The blackout phenomenon on Emirates polar flights is attributed to the flying of the aircraft in the far north of the planet,<\/strong> which makes the aircraft go out of the geostationary ambit of the satellites at a distance of 35,800 kilometers over the Equator.<\/p>\n

Emirates Airlines<\/span><\/a> is working with Inmarsat to put an end to the problem by launching two elliptical orbit satellites into space.<\/strong> The new satellites will not only facilitate Wi-Fi availability but also make it possible to watch live TV broadcasting of events or sports on Emirates flights over the North Pole. This will be a momentous achievement to Emirates.<\/p>\n

Dubai-based Emirates is a global aviation leader in offering free inflight Wi-Fi connectivity (though with data limits).<\/strong> Emirates\u2019 Live TV is available on all of the Boeing 777 jets and most of the Airbus 380 jets in the fleet, which are deployed for flights from Los Angeles<\/span><\/a>, San Francisco, Boston, Orlando, New York, Seattle<\/span><\/a> and other US cities. Emirates\u2019 passengers make more than one million Wi-Fi connections aboard every month.<\/p>\n

“It was 2008 when Emirates started operating nonstop flights between Dubai and SFO, which was the \u201cworld\u2019s first cross-polar green flight\u201d according to the airline. The route over the North Pole is the quickest and most fuel efficient route for long-haul flights to and from the United States,” recalled a senior official of IndianEagle.com, a most trusted portal for cheap airline tickets to India<\/span><\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With more and more airlines taking to the polar routes for saving time and fuel, connectivity in the Arctic region is a more important need of the hour for flyers.<\/p>\n
