Global Wi-Fi roaming supplier iPass is extending its range upward in a deal with Boeing Connexion, the in-flight wireless provider.

The deal will give iPass' 528,000 customers broadband access on two Lufthansa trans-Atlantic routes. In addition, Boeing is currently fitting out planes for Scandinavian Airlines, Japan Airlines, ANA and a leasing company.

Singapore Airlines, China Airlines and Korean Air have also announced their intentions to install Connexion on their long-haul flights.

iPass aims to provide global connectivity for business travellers and gives access to over 11,000 hotspots around the world, including those in 121 airports. The vast majority of the company's customers come through corporate agreements.

Last month Siemens became the first corporate customer for Boeing's Connexion.
