1. A method executed by one or more processors, comprising:
generating Wireless Internet Service Provider (“WISP”) voucher codes and associated WISP data into a loadable package to establish Internet connections on a plurality of aircrafts;
utilizing the associated WISP data to selectively load a subset of WISP voucher codes to an aircraft;
deploying a WISP voucher code from the subset for each passenger seat on the aircraft, based on an event;
updating a data structure upon deployment of each WISP voucher code to indicate deployed and unused WISP voucher codes of the subset;
presenting the WISP voucher code to each passenger seat;
determining that a number of unused WISP voucher codes of the subset have reached a threshold value;
obtaining additional WISP voucher codes for the aircraft; and
deleting the WISP voucher code associated with each passenger seat, upon flight termination.
