Lots of discussion about why that isn't possible (and other tangents) here [1] [1]: https://what.thedailywtf.com/t/plane-not-actually-commandeered-by-wi-fi-t

  I think the "hack the plane through IFE" thing is nonsense but it still seems negligent to encourage people to try to break the electronics on a plane in the air, which is exactly what a bug bounty that qualifies findings in the IFE does. Something to remember about every company that offers a bounty: they aren't just offering to pay for findings, but also implicitly granting permission to attack them, waiving many of their rights in the process. It makes sense that an airline would do that carefully.
