I know that KLM included some cuts from Wikipedia articles in their
onflight system to explain sights from at least San Francisco. Not sure
whether they made it scale, probably not.

And second point the airline will need a business case to cary more weight
(count about 3.5% of the weight as extra fuel burn per hour).
That said I'd love to use Wikipedia on an IFE.

Hi,
during long flights, I have often been wondering why there is no
Wikimedia option in in-flight entertainment systems. As I am normally
offline during flights and I normally don't think about in-flight
stuff while on the ground, I never actually asked around, so after a
long flight yesterday, here we go:
Do any of you know of attempts to explore the option(s) to get
Wikimedia content onto in-flight entertainment and similar systems?
Many of them already have educational content, but I am not aware of
anything openly licensed amidst those offerings. Have any of the Kiwix
team looked into this?
Also, many airlines/ ships/ trains and others offer WiFi for a fee -
has the Wikipedia Zero team ever looked into engaging with such
"providers"?
Thanks and cheers,
Daniel
