Aircell yesterday announced that its Gogo Inflight pay-as-you-go Wi-Fi service is now officially available for passengers on select Virgin America flights. The launch marks the beginning of the carrier’s fleet-wide commercial rollout of the service.

On Nov. 22, California-based Virgin America, hosted a beta launch event, which included the first ever “air-to-ground” video stream to YouTube Live, YouTube’s first official real-world user event. Virgin America’s first Gogo-enabled plane circled the skies above San Francisco with special guests, media, and bloggers testing out Gogo on laptops, smartphones and PDAs. The first week of Gogo service was launched in beta for free for guests flying over the Thanksgiving holiday.

Pricing is set at $12.95 for flights over three hours and $9.95 for flights of three hours or fewer. For more on in-flight Wi-Fi, read "Virgin America Launches Wi-Fi In-flight," "In-Flight Wi-Fi: On and Off," and "Connexion Disconnects."
