Reliance Jio Introduces Inflight Connectivity Packs

The base level inflight connectivity pack priced at Rs 499 enables users to browse 250MB data along with 100 voice calls and 100 SMS.

Further, the operator unveiled a mid-tier pack priced at Rs 699 and a top-tier pack priced at Rs 999. The mid-tier pack carries over the SMS and voice benefits of the entry level pack but enhances the data limit to 500MB.

The top-tier pack enables users to browse up to 1GB data with the voice and SMS benefits identical to the entry level pack.

The operator highlighted that the one day validity on the inflight connectivity pack translates to a 24-hour period effective from the first usage at an aircraft roaming network as part of the service. However, the users will be charged for two days when the connecting flight is said to be equipped with a different aircraft roaming network as compared to the first flight.
