Disclosed is a data transfer method comprising: performing a refuelling process including receiving, by an aircraft (104), aircraft fuel from a first entity (for example, a tanker aircraft (102)), the first entity being remote from the aircraft (104); and, during the refuelling process, sending data between the aircraft (104) and a second entity (for example, the tanker aircraft (102)), the second entity being remote from the aircraft (104). The data is sent as a radio frequency signal having a frequency in the range 50GHz to 70GHz. Preferably, the data is sent as a radio frequency signal having a frequency in the range 57GHz to 66GHz, for example 60GHz.
