"We do not block content on our WiFi service, just as we do not edit content on our personal interactive in-flight entertainment systems," Virgin America spokeswoman Abby Lunardini told XBIZ. "Our policy is not to edit any entertainment content and provide travelers with more entertainment options rather than less."
Lunardini added that since Virgin America offers individual touch-screen entertainment, "guests can choose to use it or not, so the issue of inappropriate content offending fellow passengers has not been a problem for us."
The issue of children viewing adult content is also not a problem for Virgin America, Lunardini said, because the system includes a parental control feature, which allows passengers to set the content level appropriately for underage passengers traveling with them.
The Virgin America entertainment system currently features more than 25 on-demand films, premium content from HBO and Showtime, live TV, videogames and more, and Virgin America currently offers Gogo WiFi on nine aircrafts. According to Lunardini, the company plans to feature WiFi on all its aircrafts by June, which will make it the first domestic carrier to do so.
