Delta Air Lines just hit another milestone in its ongoing rollout of fast, free Delta Sync Wi-Fi presented by T-Mobile. SkyMiles® members will have complimentary access across all flights to Europe, Israel, and West Africa.
The Atlanta-based carrier is on a mission to roll out fast, free Wi-Fi across its entire fleet. It has already completed the installation across its mainline domestic fleet (Delta’s Boeing 717 aircraft are the only holdout and they’re currently being equipped with simultaneous dual-network connectivity to deliver the best possible online experience with a completion date next year). Delta also just outfitted the first of its fleet of more than 400 regional jets. Later this spring, routes serving South America will see free Wi-Fi as well. The rest of Delta’s international flights to Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa will see free Wi-Fi next year.
Ranjan Goswami, SVP of Customer Experience Design, said:
Thanks to the dedication and expertise of Delta teams, we’re making enormous strides in our efforts to bring fast, free Wi-Fi to every aircraft in our fleet—which in turn will transform our aircraft into personalized platforms where customers can connect and engage in meaningful new ways. With the addition of our pioneering dual-network connectivity solution to 717s and forthcoming A350-1000 and A321neo new deliveries, we’re unlocking new possibilities for what it means to stay connected in the air.”
It’s free to join Delta’s SkyMiles® frequent flyer program. Once a member, you’ll receive free Wi-Fi across most Delta flights. This puts Delta ahead of United’s reasonable pricing and the exorbitant rates that American Airlines charges.
Anthony’s Take: While United is busy ramping up its Starlink installs, Delta is making real headway on its own Wi-Fi installations. I love that we’re seeing so many upgrades and that airlines are shifting towards this all being free.
