    India's largest telecom operator Bharti Airtel on Monday said it has joined a new global collaboration to bring high-speed and uninterrupted in-flight data connectivity to mobile customers. The global partnership Seamless Alliance, whose other founding members include OneWeb, Airbus, Delta and Sprint, will work towards leveraging satellite technology to offer high-speed data connectivity to mobile users, even when they are up in the air.

    An Airtel statement said, "Airtel has joined the Seamless Alliance which will usher in a new open innovation for mobile operators and airlines by empowering mobile operators to extend their services into airline cabins."
