American Airlines To Block Porn On Web Service

FORT WORTH (AP) ― American Airlines says it will filter an in-flight Internet service to block pornography sites, reversing course after complaints from flight attendants and passengers.

American said Tuesday it was working with technology provider Aircell to allow filtering of its nascent Internet service.

American, the nation's largest carrier, said it hasn't gotten reports of passengers viewing "inappropriate content" on the Gogo in-flight service but said filtering was "an appropriate measure to take."

The airline launched Internet service in August on some of its Boeing 767 jets that fly between New York and San Francisco, Los Angeles and Miami in a six-month trial.

American is a unit of Fort Worth-based AMR Corp.
